No, I am against this. There are users that prefers
module-device-manager and also, more importantly,
module-device-manager allows user to configure precisely which stream
types to route where.
What I plan to do instead (for Plasma 5.8) is to add config option to
plasma-pa to use module-switch-on-connect instead (possibly by
default).
