patch

Nowadays it is a common expectation that when a new audio device is connected,
like headset, the audio IO is switched to go through this new device.

This is typically done in desktop environments using PulseAudio - audio is
routed to the new device automatically, in a centralized fashion.

This is how it works in Firefox, but it currently doesn't work in Chromium.

I am suggesting to make PulseAudio default, since most users run Chromium in
desktop environments and users would benefit from it behaving nicely.
