I'm curious. Basically, we need to delete the Phonon KCM first, because the Phonon and PulseAudio KCMs each set conflicting PulseAudio modules. In order to have switch-on-connect be the default, plasma-pa needs to be in control, which means deleting the Phonon KCM. It's in progress. See T9091 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T9091> and D22616 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D22616>. For background information that led to my understanding of this issue, see the discussion in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392103 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392117. Also, even after we do have the ability, I anticipate that doing switch-on-connect by default may be controversial, so it's not a done deal either.
