MPD does not track audio device changes on Windows

ctoth commented 2 years ago

Bug report

Describe the bug

If I have an output configured like:

audio_output {
    name "Windows Audio"
    type "winmm"
    device "Headphones (4- ATR2100x-USB Microphone)"
}

And I start MPD, it plays to the selected device.
If my audio devices then change, for instance by plugging in USB headphones, MPD will output to another device arbitrarily.

Expected Behavior

The daemon should continue outputting to the configured audio device.

Actual Behavior

The daemon outputs to another, often random audio device.

dont specify audio devices

If I wanted to use the default output, I would use the default output. In my particular case I am sharing the speakers of my desktop with HomeAssistant. I want speech and other HA output to go to the speakers. Not to the USB headset which may optionally be plugged in. The way to do this is by specifying audio devices. This works, until the audio device index changes.
