Change sink priorities

Tanu, no problem about the delay, I got plenty of things to work on :) - thanks
for taking the time to look at this. Of course you were right about the
'module-default-device-restore' interfering. I thought I had worked around the
default-device-restoring problem by removing my ~/.config/pulse directory but
either I messed that up or with wasn't enough. Anyway, with the module
commented out and the attached patch applied, the bluetooth headset gets
selected as the default device on connect. The output of the pacmd list-sinks:

 sink(s) available.
    index: 0
        name: <alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo>
        driver: <module-alsa-card.c>
        [...]
        priority: 9439
        [...]
* index: 1
        name: <bluez_sink.04_52_C7_60_D8_82.a2dp_sink>
        driver: <module-bluez5-device.c>
        [...]
        priority: 9950
        [...]

I seem to not have any device around that is of the "speaker" form-factor, so I
am not sure where in the hierarchy they should belong. But I am fairly certain
that headphones should always be selected, and bluetooth and usb (being
attached actively by the user) should also be preferred. Opinions? I also
pinged Allan Day, UX/design expert, about this bug, maybe he also has some
valuable input about the order.
