Hi, Helmut Grohne: > * Set a different sink to be the default sink. This doesn't move any > existing streams. but it takes care of the "Future" part. For the "past" one, obviously you'll have to ask PA to enumerate the sink's inputs and then move them to the new default one by one. The pavucontrol GUI doesn't do that currently, but it does do all the baby steps so that you can accomplish this task manually with a couple of mouse clicks. So this shouldn't be *too* impossible to reproduce in your own code, I'd assume. > impossible to achieve such a basic task Clearly not. Somewhat non-straightforward, OK, but then so is a lot of the rest of our ecosystem. > This isn't the only deficit, that is by design.

It works, but it feels somewhat complicated: > [...] Well, that's what libraries are for -- they encapsulate complicated things with an easy interface. Write that code once, use it anywhere. -- -- Matthias Urlichs
