Bug Description
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
rhythmbox:
Installed: 3.4.4-1ubuntu2
Candidate: 3.4.4-1ubuntu2
What I expect to happen :
When I launch rhythmbox, I expect it to use the default pulseaudio sink. (Which can be defined in pavucontrol or with set-default-sink in /etc/pulse/
What happened instead :
when I launch rhythmbox, it outputs sound to a random device (in my case : either a RAOP sink in my living-room, or another RAOP sink in my kitchen. Never my local soundcard)
If I correct the output sink (with pavucontrol or pactl) the problem is fixed... until I quit and restart rhythmbox.
I did not have this problem with Ubuntu 19.10 / Rhythmbox 3.4.3-2ubuntu1
In 20.04 :
-> Spotify (snap store version 1.1.26.
-> others apps I tested (Firefox, Chromium, VLC, Totem) do not have the problem
I already tried to delete $HOME/.config/pulse with no improvement.

Thank you for your bug report, is that specific to rhythmbox or do you get the same issue in e.g totem?
