I was reading the ticket description and I can indeed say that in my case it wouldn't do the correct thing.<div>I agree that plugging in head phones (bluetooth or not) means that you want to use them.</div><div>But for HDMI I'm not so sure, at in my case it wouldn't work: I have my TV connected permanently to my computer in case I want to watch a movie, but normally the TV is switched off. So what happens if suddenly my GF wants to watch tele and switches it on? If I understand correctly pulseaudio would automatically switch over to HDMI, wouldn't it?</div> <div><br></div><div>So I'm not sure if it should depend on the type of device being connected? (maybe configurable: yes, switch on headset, no on HDMI) But I don't know if that's even possible.<br clear="all"> <br></div><div>Cheers,<br>-Tako<br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 13:04, David Henningsson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david.henningsson@canonical.com">david.henningsson@canonical.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> 2010-08-05 05:00, Erik de Castro Lopo skrev:<br> > Hi all,<br> ><br> > I've acquired a pair of wireless headphones; the type that has a USB<br> > dongle that plugs into my machine and uses analog FM to communicate<br> > with the headphones.<br> ><br> > These JustWorked(tm) under linux, but now I'd like to have audio<br> > (either PulseAudio or ALSA) auto switch to the headphones whenever<br> > they are plugged in.<br> ><br> > Is this doable?
