Store persisten configuration

[pagdot]

I'm using a combined-sink module, but have to reconfigure it on each boot of the system. Would it be possible to store a configuration persistent? Maybe using an additional button or a checkbox?

Really wanted thing for sure
Implementation could save all of this into some form of file somewhere (or in .local/share) and then on startup be parsed.
If one of the modules wouldn't match, parsing should either stop or don't start at all (pre-check before creating sinks and etc)
For this good thing to be implemented is #4 issue too.

It could generate/own a config file for pulseaudio I don't know how pulseaudio would handle issues but it would probably work even with missing sources/sinks

I love using this tool for sure (thank you!), but needing to recreate my entire sinc/source map every-time I reboot sort of sucks. The ability to save it to a PA config, or something would help a lot!! Thanks

In case you urgently need some tool to save/restore configurations, i would consider looking into a Pipewire
It combines Pulse, Jack, Alsa together and you can use some tools like QJackctl. It's mature enough to use it daily (although bluetooth is a bit rough, it's still far better than plain pulse and it's modules setup)

Not only it's pretty easy to use, it also pretty much entirely integrated with pulse. To save/restore you can use Patchbay inside qjackctl.
Patchbay isn't perfect (like, you have to name stuff right and expect the same name), but still better than nothing.

Thanks @Meister1593. I had Pipewire installed, but then every time I tried to do arch updates, I received warnings about running both PulseAudio and Pipewire, I had to remove Pipewire in order to stop receiving those warnings. Having said that, I am going to looking into the QjackCtl module that be used with PA and see if maybe that could work in the interim. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Why... do you need to run both pipewire and pulseaudio independently?
Pipewire-pulse replaces pulse server and acts like one
