Bug Description
Running Ubuntu 17.10, when I plug an external USB Amp/Dac it is correctly recognized and I can play audio through it via aplay, but when I select it as my output sink from gnome sound, nothing happens: apps still output sound via the speakers.
In order to fix it I have to restart pulseaudio.
I've also found online that modifying /etc/pulse/

Your fix sounds good. I'll do some testing and see about getting it into Ubuntu properly.
