Once you manually move a stream to a different sink, PA records your
decision and the default sink is no longer relevant for that client. So
when you move back, and restart your client, it is not affected by the
default sink. What you propose does not work. Do you have an alternative
in mind?

If PA is too crappy to interface directly, then it's not for me. Thanks,
but no thanks. Sounds more like I am trying to use the wrong tool for my
task.
