[pulseaudio-discuss] Sink for event sounds? WAS: paplay - sound roles?

'Twas brillig, and Ng Oon-Ee at 31/12/09 12:14 did gyre and gimble:

Indeed, but then again if you "moved" the event "role" to A and then
disconnected it, it would be up to module-rescue-streams to relocate it
appropriately too which again, may not be the one you want... so the
problem still exists in this scenario too...

Yet another argument for role-based, priority list of preferred
devices.... (e.g. how I've made module-device-manager work with the KDE
UI - FWIW, the setup you want is /probably/ working fine under KDE with
my integration patches and PA 0.9.21...)
