switching audio output device leaves both selected post upgrade to 5.24.5
I am using Manjaro KDE Plasma, and after the last Manjaro update KDE Plasma was updated to 5.24.5.
After applying the update and rebooting, I have an issue in Audio applet (plasma-pa)where I can swap (once) between my two audio devices (S/PDIF speakers => USB headphones); however, but both output devices appear selected after the click/swap. Once both output devices are selected, switching no longer appears to be possible.
My current work around is to unplug/re-plug my USB headset when I want to return to my speakers. And because the swap to headset works via plasma-pa, I can swap normally and just ignore the dual-selection.
In case it's important to note... I can confirm that only one audio output was really being output to, and seconded this by observing the change in the KDE System Settings => Hardware => Audio. However, if I try switch between my audio devices in KDE System Settings, I can replicate the multi-device selection issue... so it's not exclusive to plasma-pa.
Within KDE System Settings I have the advantage of being able to switch between "tabs" (Audio => Multimedia => Audio) to force a refresh to see that really only one device is selected after switching the audio output device there... but I don't know how to force a refresh of plasma-pa.
Perhaps another way to try explain the issue is that a trigger to refresh plasma-pa (and KDE System Settings) appears to be missing after a new audio output device is selected (when multiple output devices are available to choose from).
Also, I think it may be important to note that pulseaudio is actually being provided by pipewire-pulse. I have been using pipewire for a few months now, so that is not new... however, pipewire was also updated with the same recent Manjaro update to 0.3.51.
