I want sound to default to my speakers. I have a single app (twinkle) that should go to the headset. Note, this headset has a mic and is for calling. Twinkle can select which source dependent from other sound apps. I have yet to figure out how to consistently make it default to the speakers.

pulseaudio digression [Tumbleweed backs off on systemd for now]

I've had similar aggravations ever since pulseaudio appeared. In my case there is no bluetooth involved, but pa randomly loses devices and settings across suspend/resume, shutdown/reboot, and even at less well defined times. I have found no real solution, but for me it mostly worked to get an acceptable state in place and then do "chmod -R a-w ~/.pulse". That obviously has other drawbacks, but at least it stopped losing track of the devices altogether. And the instantaneous settings mostly got pinned as the default state.
