hi @gardk, I always found these settings a bit flimsy in pipewire. In my case now the source is ignored both with and without your commit. Maybe it is related to the fact that I am on ubuntu and stuck with pipewire 0.3.79 |

Nice, so you got it tested that it did what it says it did? I was a bit worried when you merged and it wasn't working for you :P |

yes, I can now specify a client like spotify and pause the music to reproduce the issue. What is strange is that if i specify some random string as the source it will still use the default output. Might just be a feature in pipewire. |

I found that whatever I put in the source field of [input] was always ignored by cava when using PipeWire.
This PR fixes that issue, but it also brings out another issue that is actually reproducible without this patch. Described in #556.
Haven't been able to track down why that's happening.
