It would be nice if, for example, it remembered the way that you wanted a system to be rather than recalculating it every time a device changes state. If I turn off the home theater receiver connected to my media server via HDMI, PulseAudio decides that it can't be used, so it helpfully switches over to another audio output device. When I turn the receiver back on, PulseAudio does not switch back to it automatically. The present case is probably similar: PA decided something was unplugged, switched to a different sink, and did not bring it back when it was "replugged". -dsr-
