Huh? Sorry for possibly being dense, but
1. Shouldn't PA do only obvious things automatically, and not bug the
user about obvious things? The proposition "PA automaticallly breaks
stuff, so it needs to show the user how to unbreak it" seems flawed.
2. Isn't PA a daemon and thus can't interact with the user? Or did you
mean "set a flag that pavucontrol etc. can read"? But then the user
still would have to run pavucontrol on their own...
If you can't tell, I'm concerned about PA not staying out of my way.
regards,
Jan
