Actually I run this addon with Kodi 18.9 and have no problem. The problem is something else.

Please do the following.

1. Open a terminal and change to lib directory of the addon where the pasink script is located, e.g. ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.audio.pasink/lib

Run pasinnkscript as follows:

$ ./pasink --list-all

My output is:

Default sink:
0       R       module-alsa-card.c      Aureon Dual USB Digital Stereo (IEC958) alsa_output.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_PnP_Sound_Device-00.iec958-stereo  100%

Please send me your output.

Hey,

thanks for your answer. The output looks like this:

Default sink:
Connection failure: Connection terminated

Plugged Alsa card devices:
Connection failure: Connection terminated

Sinked Bluetooth A2DP device:
Connection failure: Connection terminated

In the audio mixer I only see one audio device and it's selected as default sink. But pasink doesn't show it. I followed this answer on askubuntu https://askubuntu.com/a/78179 and installed paprefs for showing multiple sinks in audio mixer at the same time.

After restarting pulseaudio the output looks like this:

Default sink:
0       S       module-alsa-card.c      Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)    alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo        100%

Plugged Alsa card devices:
0       S       module-alsa-card.c      Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)    alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.hdmi-stereo        100%

Sinked Bluetooth A2DP device:

Combined sink:
1       S       module-combine-sink.c   Simultaneous output to Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)     combined        100%

Paired Bluetooth A2DP devices:

Switching the default sink with your addon works again. I don't know if restarting pulseaudio resolved the problem (I rebooted several times before). Or if the default sink was somehow messed up before...
