Source: Anonymous comment to blog post Switching default PulseAudio device when USB microphone is plugged in

PulseAudio has built-in support for defaulting. Just add

# automatically switch to newly-connected devices
load-module module-switch-on-connect

to /etc/pulse/default.pa right after these lines

### Should be after module-*-restore but before module-*-detect
load-module module-switch-on-port-available

Then restart server pulseaudio -k
