Reconfigure /etc/pulse/default.pa during install?

Description

Can the install be configured so comment out a line in /etc/pulse/default.pa?

Not sure if this is a plasma-pa bug or a pulseaudio bug. In plasma-pa -> Audio Volumue -> Advanced tab.... checking the "Automatically switch all running streams when a new output becomes available" cause PA to crash. If the /etc/pulse/default.pa file is modified by commenting out following line:

load-module module-switch-on-connect

PA will start as expected. I have not checked to see if the auto switching works when the default.pa line is commented out.

Were you ever able to file an upstream bug on the freedesktop bug tracker? Ultimately, it would be good to get this fixed there so we don't need a workaround.

Never mind, I did some digging and upstream is already well aware of the issue, and deliberately does not enable this module by default for a variety of reasons.
