[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] module-switch-on-port-available: Do not switch profile if current port is available

[David Henningsson]

For switching profiles, we are a little more cautious, only switch
from an unavailable port to an available one. Profile switching is
mainly used for HDMI/DisplayPort, and this is to avoid switching from
analog to HDMI/DP when it becomes available.

See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2012-March/012991.html
and replies for more information.

...and here's the patch for consistent HDMI behaviour, as previously advertised.
Will push it tomorrow unless anybody has concerns about it.
