So where in pavucontrol do I select the VIDEO source? Duh?

Skype is a voice call and videoconferencing tool. Using the default
PulseAudio source makes perfect sense there. First time, it will get the
default microphone. Next time, it will get the source that it had the
previous time if available. All is good for Skype.


If the user selects desktop recording, this does not work.
