Hello everyone
For past 2 years I was using OpenELEC with Kodi 16 on RPi.
During the day I was using AVR/HDMI sound, and at night, I would connect USB headphones.
The switching between them was seamless. On rare occasion I would need to select correct Audio output device in settings.
Now I'm trying to setup real HTPC using Ubuntu 18.04 with Kodi 17.6 from package in standalone mode.
The thing is - an audio output devices list seems to be generated once during Kodi startup, and not updated on the fly, when something changes (USB soundcard plug/unplug).
Tried using both Pluse and ALSA - same behavior.
Is this by design, and OpenELEC build has some special patches to allow automatic list update during run-time?
Or maybe this a problem with Pulse/Alsa/Ubuntu?
