Maybe I can provide mine, does this match your experiences?

since the last update, PA is almost completely BROKEN.

a) ALSA devices which were detected prior to PA start do not work AT
ALL. The only Sink in the mixer is "Dummy-Output".
Log output is something like this:

Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="1" name="pci-0000_09_00.3" card_name="alsa_card.pci-0000_09_00.3" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes avoid_resampling=no card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.

b)
When I reconnect the device then it works briefly, for exactly one
stream. Once the stream stops, the device becomes mute. It's still there
but no sound comes out of it.

c) If you restart PA in the condition above, then even the new device is
not detected any longer.

Best regards,
Eduard.
