Cannot change audio output in pavucontrol for a specific application

I use pavucontrol (in the Playback tab) to give my active applications a specific audio output (I have multiple audio output devices).
Some applications, however, such as certain SFML games, do not allow me to change the audio output.

The menu is displayed when I click on the current audio output name, but clicking any other output device just closes the menu without changing anything.
No error messages are displayed.

If I manually disable all devices except the one I want, the application correctly plays its audio on the desired device.

How can I solve this issue?

No ideas? All the applications that present the issue seem to use libsndfile, if that helps
