l/pulseaudio-9.0-i586-1.txz
This release fixes many bugs, including this one that was commonly reported
during the Slackware 14.2 development cycle:
“Automatic routing improvements:
In 8.0, PulseAudio started to automatically switch to another profile when
the device associated with the current profile is unplugged. That seemingly
smart thing had some serious unintended consequences. One typical issue was
that when unplugging headphones, PulseAudio might switch to S/PDIF output
and not switch back to headphones when they are plugged in again. Another
issue was that HDMI in many cases appears to get temporarily unplugged when
the monitor goes to sleep mode, or even when switching the refresh rate of
the monitor – PulseAudio 8.0 would move audio away from the HDMI monitor in
these cases and not move the audio back to HDMI when the monitor becomes
available again. These issues are now fixed.”
