This behavior particularly affects Raspberry Pis, where USB is the only
bus available for a lot of devices and treating this as "hotplug" gives
wrong results.

That doesn't mean the default should change for pulseaudio on the
desktop in general, but should somehow be treated in a hardware-specific
manner.

I would suggest making /etc/pulse/default.pa key its loading of module-
switch-on-connect on the absence of a flag file, which could then be
provided by raspberry pi images.

I'm going to open a task on ubuntu-settings for the moment, since it
provides ubuntu-raspi-settings that seems the most likely existing
package to attach the raspi side of this to.

Title:
  switch-on-connect mistakes startup for USB hotplug, so seemingly
  ignores the old default device on reboot
