Pipewire - doesn't auto switch source

Hi all.

I have some usb speakers, a usb headset, and when I want to switch between them currently I have to issue a pactl command to switch the default sink.
Anyone know if there is a config setting or USE flag to have it auto switch when I turn off my speakers or turn them back on?

Let me know what info you need.

i'd be interested to know as well. i've actually just spent some time implementing a simple module for Waybar, based on a few shell scripts, to manually switch between several different outputs (though using wpctl rather than pactl, because i'm running WirePlumber on top of PipeWire).
