  • For future readers looking to set separate default pulseaudio or pipewire sinks for individual apps, this his how I accomplished it.
    If you’re using pipewire config, sink_name will be called node.name in the capture.props of the module.

    For flatpak apps, I used this per-user override only for my current user:
    flatpak override --user --env=PULSE_SINK=(sink_name) (full application name)
    For example:
    flatpak override --user --env=PULSE_SINK=live_sink com.spotify.Client

    For steam games, insert the respective environment variable into the launch options if you already have some, or otherwise put PULSE_SINK=(sink_name) %command% in there.

    Steam Tinker Launch maintains a gamecfgs/customvars/(Game ID).conf config file for each game to set custom environment variables in, which you can most conveniently find through from the launcher’s Main Menu > Editor > find the customvars entry. In there, just put the line PULSE_SINK=(sink_name) and you’ll be good to go.

    I mean, it seems like that’s the cultural push-and-pull depicted here: Some people don’t like it and make that known. If their opinion ends up prevailing and papers containing silliness end up being rejected by the major journals of their field, doctoral comittees etc., eventually the silliness may be driven out and gatekept.

    We fans of harmless humour would lament as much as the guy in the OP laments now. We would presumably attempt to encourage silliness, as the guy in the OP does now.

    Consensus swinging one way naturally doesn’t magically mean we now have to change our opinions to fit the consensus. Right now, language evolves in our favour, and we will attempt to support and leverage that evolution because it suits us.
