A follow-up on this, how do I move event sounds to a different sink? For
other streams I simply use pavucontrol, but it doesn't seem that there's
any selector for the "System Sounds" item. It just selects the
'normal' (laptop sound card output) and I can't figure a way to move it
to my BT headset without turning the sound card output off.
