I tried this with 3 audio sinks ( local audio sink + network host 1 audio sink + network host 2 audio sink ), and I don't see any random sink selection. Rhythmbox always plays in the default selected sink. This is on Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian Unstable.

(Which can be defined in pavucontrol or with set-default-sink in /etc/pulse/default.pa ). What happened instead : when I launch rhythmbox, it outputs sound to a random device (in my case : either a RAOP sink in my living-room, or another RAOP sink in my kitchen. Never my local soundcard) If I correct the output sink (with pavucontrol or pactl) the problem is fixed... until I quit and restart rhythmbox. I did not have this problem with Ubuntu 19.10 / Rhythmbox 3.4.3-2ubuntu1 In 20.04 : -> Spotify (snap store version 1.1.26.501.gbe11e53b-15) has the same problem -> others apps I tested (Firefox, Chromium, VLC, Totem) do not have the problem I already tried to delete $HOME/.config/pulse with no improvement.
