FireFox + Pulseaudio is always using sink 0 instead of default sink(9 in my case)

[Andreas Drewke]

Hi,

this was working 100% before with FF.

It creates a pseudo sink that can be used to play. This can be recorded 
as well.
It is my default sink 9.

I use a tool to record video and sound of my desktop.
I am a software/game developer and need to be able to do that from time 
to time.

Hmm.

Best regards
Andreas
