** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  On my freshly installed eoan system I have two output devices:
  - HDMI/DisplayPort 2 - GK208 ...
  - Line Out - Family 17h ...
  
  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.
+ The behaviour is changed back to what it was before 19.10, some users
+ might find it inconvenient and prefer the auto switch but the feedback
+ we got shows it's unreliable and an annoying for the majority of our
+ users so we will got back to default to safest behaviour.
