Before I install pulseaudio, however, I am wondering what happens when I disconnect the USB DAC. Here's the scenario about which I am wondering: I start with nothing connected. Sound comes out the internal DAC. I connect a USB DAC. module-switch-on-connect detects the connection of a new device and reroutes sound to the USB DAC. Good, so far. Now I disconnect the USB DAC. From the name of the module -- "module-switch-on-<i>connect</i>" -- it isn't clear to me what happens. I hope that the module also switches on <i>dis</i>connect so that the sound will revert to the internal DAC. I do not anticipate connecting any other audio sinks, so I can probably manage for now, at least, without a more general priority scheme -- depending on the answer to my question, of course.<br clear="all">
