Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] Progress of 'dynamic default sink' or 'device preference list'?
'Twas brillig, and Ng Oon-Ee at 01/12/10 07:48 did gyre and gimble: Hi all, Now that 0.9.22 is finally out, I'm wondering what happened to what Colin mentioned some time back about 'device preferences'. As I understood at the time, assuming 3 possible sound devices (which may or may not be plugged in):- 1. New streams would be automatically sent to the highest priority device on starting 2. Streams which have been manually moved would stay where they've been moved to. 3. When another device which has a higher priority is plugged in, all streams (except for those in 2.) are moved to it. This scheme was mentioned in preference to a generic move all sound to latest plugged-in-device scheme, I believe. Are there any plans in this direction? Not done much on it TBH. Was wanting to discuss things with Lennart further as he never quite acked the approach (not the finer details anyway) and there are still some caveats to the approach (like dealing with apps that produce multiple streams where you want to control them independently - although I think that can and should be mitigated in an app specific way). I may just crack on an do it over the winter seeing as it's getting really cold now and worry about the finer details later.

Would user-input as to the design of this behaviour be helpful, or just a hindrance? Well I've gathered quite a lot of feedback already, but please feel free to critique more! I think the comments on the blog article[1] and a thread on this list which I've long since lost of my gmane cache were the best references... i'll try and dig out the archive link to that thread when I have a sec.
