Description Qiyu Yan 2020-12-15 10:40:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
Sound output doesn't come back when re-plug your output device, e.g. earphone, USB DAC

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pipewire-0.3.17-3.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible:
Very Likely, but not Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo swap pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio --allowerasing --enablerepo=updates-testing
2. sudo systemctl enable --global pipewire-pulse.socket
3. play a random media file via Rhythmbox or any youtube video from firefox
4. pull out audio device connected
5. re-plug in the device

Actual results:
Sound lost in player (e.g. Rhythmbox, firefox), and doesn't recover until you jump to another media file in Rhythmbox or pause, wait and continue the video firefox.

Expected results:
Audio output will work after a re-plug.

Additional info:
Seems that selection of output device in Gnome-setting also have no effect on current playing stream in some cases (but working for new stream), I guess that pipewire/multimedia apps can't handle some cases of output device switch?
