Force speechd to send audio to wireless headset?

[Peter Vágner]

Hello,

I would say moving streams using pacmd has advantage that while the
wireless headset is not connected speech-dispatcher output will play
through the default pulseaudio sink. As soon as the headset connects pulse
can automagically move the stream to newly appeared sink with no
intervention from you.

I am using such a config for a few years now and it all works great with no
side effects.

Greetings

Peter
