[pulseaudio-discuss] sink creation initialization timings

[David Osguthorpe]

If I stop the pulse daemon (systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket, systemctl
--user stop pulseaudio)
then start the daemon with pulseaudio -vvvvv or systemctl --user start
pulseaudio everything works, the remap device remap-analog-surround-40
exists and is set as the default sink (no reboot).

I have not tried explicitly using the commands via pacmd - Ill see what
happens.

I have a feeling its something to do with profiles - but dont understand
why the profiles seem to be activated after everything else and how to
change this - well I dont understand profiles.
