Well, I didn't know e mixer doesn't remember audio device priority. I 
have to know why, sometimes, priority changes. May be because, 
sometimes, i launch two X session in same time... I use pipewire-git and 
wireplumber-git ; they work fine, much better than pulseaudio in my 
case. I have to investigate then I'll report this issue upstream.
Thanks
