Thank you for the software, Plasma and apps are getting better and better and
quite going in a direction I like.
SUMMARY
Heavy user of audio volume applet here. I much frequently switch between
internal-headphones-external soundcard-bluetooth speakers because I work with
music.
The new "Default device" introduced in Plasma 5.17 buttons under each device
have some bugs:
- usability: the button screw up layout height, icons become huge and widget
are squeezed in a thight space: really ugly
- functionality: if I plug in an external "Default device", the button looks
activated, but internal device is used instead. Must click on internal "Default
device" button, then click external to have external device working properly.
- conceptual: user sets a device to be default only once: use cases are fixed.
If user connects an external sound card it's simply because she wants to use
it, she wants it to be default. So she will go to Configure Audio (_Volume_)
once, or use the little and wise hamburger menu on the device widget.
Moreover, there is an option to enable or disable automatic switching of
streams on newly attached devices in the Configuration > Advanced tab of the
applet.
Please, simple revert the commit and, please, do more research/testing before
making such changes.
