To support the "use HDMI if the TV is on" logic, I have made the HDMI sink the default. However, this has an unfortunate side effect: now MATE volume control applet controls HDMI volume. I would like it to control the volume of my headphones if HDMI is not available, but, to do so, I would need to make the analog output the default - which breaks the "prefer HDMI" logic. So I am not sure whether I like the idea of reading the user's mind about port priorities from his actions. -- Alexander E. Patrakov
