in my system log when running speaker-test outputting to pulse, but I had, according to pacmd this device set to fallback:
Welcome to PulseAudio 8.0! Use "help" for usage information.

2 sink(s) available.

...and I've turned off streams remembering devices, would anyone else agree that something seems to be horribly broken? Why on earth is speaker-test (and chrome, and everything else) choosing my headphones to output to?

Please edit your post to change your title to something that a) actually reflects your issue, and b) dispenses with the ridiculous punctuation:

Yup, and sure enough, 'pacmd exit' fixes the problem. Kicking the audio server in the nuts gets the stupid thing working again.

Hopefully that's better.

It is, thanks. Please remember to mark your thread as [Solved] by editing your first post and prepending it to the title.

Marking this as 'solved', even though the work-around is just ridiculous. I think I'm going write off Pulse as just hopelessly broken with the next problem I find and just hack together a custom build to work around the defects.

in /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-stream-restore restore_device=false
the default is for PA to remember, per-application, the app's last selected output - the above says forget that & set to the fallback when an app starts
