Headphone/Speaker fast switching with Pipewire

EDIT: Oh no, IDs don't survive reboot(!?!) This post will need some work as I figure this out. Keep reading though. I've recently gone all in on Fedora Silverblue, and while I was able to modify the initial setup [https://github.com/castrojo/ublue] to fit me as an Ubuntu…
