Define enough ;). As far as I can tell, pulseaudio does detect if the
hdmi device is plugged or not. However, behavior is a bit strange
because different logic applies at different times.

I'm guessing the problem here is that module-stream-restore is
detecting it already knows about mplayer2, so it will move that stream
to the hdmi device. However, being unplugged does not mean the HDMI
device disappears (in cards where the hdmi device is a separate
device). Therefore, silence.
