What about users with bluetooth headsets? They'd move all streams to it
while they're using it then when they disconnect it, the sink
disappears. Presumably, if an application is restarted while it is in
use, having to move the stream shouldn't be necessary (otherwise things
like notification sounds would always go to the wrong sink). Is there a
way to tell MPD to just have the pulseaudio server DTRT rather than
using explicit sink names?
