[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] sink: remove priority bonus for the "internal" form factor

[Tanu Kaskinen]

We're supposed to prioritize USB sound cards over PCI sound cards, but
the priority bonus for the "internal" form factor prevents this from
happening. Not all (if any) USB sound cards have the form factor
property set, whereas at least on my laptop the on-board sound card has
the form factor set to "internal".

Maybe we should release 11.1 and include this fix. We advertised that
11.0 would start prioritizing USB over internal sound cards, so it's
embarrassing that it doesn't actually do that.
