Dear Maintainer,
This is from an upgrade from bullseye to bookworm. I used MATE in bullseye and
continue to do so in bookworm.

I have a bluetooth headset.
In bullseye, when I turned the headset on, the audio, as soon as the headset
was recognised, was switched to the headset and the desktop speakers were cut
off.

In bookworm, I see two messages regarding the bluetooth connection. One that
says "New Sink..." and a second one saying that that device is connected. *But*
sound remains going to the desktop speakers I have to right click on the
speaker icon, select Sink and the select the bluetooth device.

I tried removing ~/.config/pulse and rebooting. It made no difference. The
device is trusted.

I expect the behavior I have in bullseye where audio promply switched over.
