Bug#719009: pulseaudio: resets chosen profile on reboot (or incorrect profile priorities)

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 4.0-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading to PulseAudio 4 on Jessie I have to select the correct card profile after each reboot.
Every time it goes back to "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output", while I select "Analog Stereo Duplex".
It doesn't matter if I change that option through GNOME's "Sound Settings", through "pavucontrol" or doing "pacmd set-card-profile 0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo" from the CLI.
Further investigation seems to point to the priorities each profile gets when my HDMI external monitor is plugged in. See the two files I'm attaching with the output of "pacmd list-cards" when booting with and without it. I'm on a laptop and most of the time I'm using the external LCD monitor which doesn't have speakers or any audio related functionality FWIW.
I understand the autodetecting and rearranging of profile priorities, but I think the user choice should be preserved across reboots. Please correct me if I'm wrong and this is somehow a feature not a bug.
One other related effect of this is that I get no sound on KDE apps, regardless of the pulse profile change. After editing the Phonon sound preferences through "systemsettings" and choosing the right profile I can test speakers and I get sound, but as soon as I close and reopen the settings they're back to "HDMI output". So for KDE apps I cannot persist the option, even in the same session.Disclaimer: I don't have the full KDE desktop installed, only Amarok dependencies. Should I file this as a bug for another package?
If you need any more information don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,
