plasma-pa with two audio output devices selected
SUMMARY
***
switching audio output device leaves both selected post upgrade to 5.24.5
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Speakers and USB headphones connected to system, with default audio output
device being the speakers
2. open the plasma-pa applet and select the headphones as the new audio output
destination
3. note that both audio output destinations are selected (radio buttons filled)
OBSERVED RESULT
After changing the audio output destination from speakers to headphones, both
devices appear to be selected.
EXPECTED RESULT
After changing the audio output destination from speakers to headphones, the
applet should refresh to show that only the headphones are selected as the
audio output destination.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am using Manjaro KDE Plasma, and after the last Manjaro update **KDE Plasma**
was updated to **5.24.5**.
After applying the update and rebooting, I have an issue in **Audio** applet
(**plasma-pa**)where I can swap (once) between my two audio devices (**S/PDIF
speakers** => **USB headphones**); however, but both output devices appear
selected after the click/swap (see attachment). Once both output devices are
selected, switching no longer appears to be possible.
My current work around is to unplug/re-plug my USB headset when I want to
return to my speakers. And because the swap to headset works via **plasma-pa**,
I can swap normally and just ignore the dual-selection.
In case it's important to note... I can confirm that only one audio output was
really being output to, and seconded this by observing the change in the **KDE
System Settings** => **Hardware** => **Audio**. However, if I try switch
between my audio devices in **KDE System Settings**, I can replicate the
multi-device selection issue... so it's not exclusive to **plasma-pa**.
Within **KDE System Settings** I have the advantage of being able to switch
between "tabs" (Audio => Multimedia => Audio) to force a refresh to see that
really only one device is selected after switching the audio output device
there... but I don't know how to force a refresh of **plasma-pa**.
Perhaps another way to try explain the issue is that a trigger to refresh
**plasma-pa** (and **KDE System Settings**) appears to be missing after a new
audio output device is selected (when multiple output devices are available to
choose from).
In case it's important to note... **pulseaudio** is actually being provided by
**pipewire-pulse**. I have been using **pipewire** for a few months now, so
that is not new... however, **pipewire** was also updated with the same recent
Manjaro update to **pipewire 0.3.51**.
