It appears the upstream fix in master (PulseAudio 14) does not apply and can't work in PulseAudio 13 so we will stick with the revert in PulseAudio 13. The patch in comment #34 is still awaiting sponsorship/publishing.

When I login into the system pulseaudio always select the "wrong" one (HDMI) and I need to go to gnome-settings/Sound/Output Device and switch to "line out". This applies to every login/logout not just reboots. [Test Case] 0. Plug in a monitor that supports HDMI audio (one that appears in your Settings>Sound) 1. Log out and in again. Verify the default audio device in Settings is still speakers or headphones. Not the monitor's HDMI audio device. [Regression Potential] Low. The fix proposed just reverts to the same code used in PulseAudio 12 and earlier. It has also been released and verified on focal already.
