Hi.

Since switching from pa to pipewire, there have been several problems
with sound output when starting a PC with its monitor off (HDMI monitor
with speakers) and then turning it on to log in and use the system on
the graphic console.

On 2 systems I have different behaviors :
- one with KDE doesn't display ANY audio output device.
- one with XFCE have a clickey sound / cracking noise when playing
  audio.

I don't know if the 2 issues are related but I grouped them as they
appear only when booting with the monitor off and turning it on
afterward.

On KDE:
the `pactl list sinks` returns NO sink.

On XFCE:
`pactl list sinks` gives :
