[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1052682: pipewire-pulse: Updated section in /etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/ not loading module-switch-on-connect

[S.]

Package: pipewire-pulse
Version: 0.3.65-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: sb56637 at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I am following these instructions to enable module-switch-on-connect for
pipewire-pulse by adding just the section I want to modify in
/etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/my.conf

https://docs.pipewire.org/page_module_protocol_pulse.html#autotoc_md380

----------------------------
pulse.cmd = [
    { cmd = "load-module" args = "module-always-sink" flags = [ ] }
    { cmd = "load-module" args = "module-switch-on-connect" }
]
----------------------------

However this does not work, i.e. `pactl list modules short` does not show
`module-switch-on-connect` and streams don't switch automatically when plugging
in a new USB audio device.

Yet, when I `sudo cp /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf /etc/pipewire/`
and uncomment `{ cmd = "load-module" args = "module-switch-on-connect" }` it
works as expected.

Thanks, and best regards.
