Description: I noticed this bug right after pulseaudio was upgraded to 14.1. It switches every 2 minutes or so from my working output (LineOut) to my webcam one...

My fix was to downgrade to pulse audio 14.0.


Additional info:
pulseaudio 14.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
Just upgrade to pulseaudio 14.1. Launch a video (on youtube or anywhere else). One or two minutes later, output is switched to another one.

I got this error in my everything.log file:

Not fixed in the today’s update to 14.1-2, reported upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/1096#note_766342

Same for me. 14.1-2 is still broken. A way to fix this is to revert this commit: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/commit/254cb4bd1f0905270f77462d766c88bf39ccf8a5

Downgrading once again pulseaudio, libpulse and pulseaudio-bluetooth.

[Upstream has merged a fix to `master`][1], so I guess we just wait until it lands in `stable-14.x`.
