Description Gregor Mi 2017-04-04 22:07:17 UTC
I recently switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma 5.9.2 and updated to 5.9.3 and then 5.9.4. In all those versions I experienced something interesting:

When Clementine plays songs and a new song begins (not for all but only for some) the output device switches from the default one (external USB connected speakers) to the other one (docking station internal sound card).

WORKAROUND:
I use the Volume applet to drag and drop the Clementine item to the correct sound device every time the switch happens.
Comment 1 Gregor Mi 2017-04-04 22:09:10 UTC
Addendum: the switch happens every 5 - 20 songs. Maybe it has something to do with with the codec of the file.
Comment 2 Gregor Mi 2017-12-10 11:06:27 UTC
I don't know if this is maybe a clementine issue. Anyway, I created a crude workaround script which automatically moves the first sink-input index to the sink with index 1 every second:

while true
do
    echo "Move first sink to sink with index 1. TODO: Find specifically the clementine sink and move only this one."
    pacmd move-sink-input $(pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep index: | sed -E 's/index: (.+)/\1/g') 1
    sleep 1
done
