Bug ID: 85488
Summary: module-rescue-streams chooses the target sink badly
Product: PulseAudio
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: modules
Assignee: [email protected]

module-rescue-streams uses different logic for selecting the target sink than
what the core uses for selecting the new default sink when the old default sink
disappears. This causes unexpected behaviour in the following scenario:
- there are three sinks: A, B and C
- A is the default sink
- there's a stream playing to A
- A disappears, module-rescue-stream moves the stream to B, and C becomes the
new default sink (this is already a bit unexpected, but it gets worse)
- A appears again
- module-switch-on-connect makes A the default sink. module-switch-on-connect
should also move the stream back to A, but it doesn't, because the stream is
now playing to B, which is a non-default sink, so module-switch-on-connect
assumes that the user explicitly moved the stream to B, which the user did not
do.
This problem could be avoided if module-rescue-streams used the same logic as
what is used for choosing the new default sink when the old default sink
disappears. To ensure that the logic is exactly the same, the logic should be
implemented in a shared function that is used in both cases.
