+PulseAudio 14.0
+
+Changes at a glance:
+
+ * Notes for end users
+   * Significant routing changes to default sinks/sources
+     * Changing the default sink moves streams from the old default sink to the new
+     * Moving a stream to the default sink removes the "manually routed" status of the stream
+     * If a sink changes status to available, streams that prefer that sink move there automatically
+     * The same changes have been applied to the source stream routing
+     * Workaround for GNOME Sound Settings' stream routing behaviour
+     * module-rescue-streams is deprecated, functionality moved to the core
+     * New rescue-streams option in daemon.conf
+   * Automatic switching to HDMI is now disabled by default
+   * Better support for some USB gaming headsets
+   * Flat volumes are now disabled by default
+   * The RAOP sink can be configured to automatically reconnect on connection failures
+   * Separate sink_channels and source_channels for module-jackdbus-detect

+   * New channel_map argument for module-raop-sink
+ * Notes for application developers
+   * pa_mainloop_prepare interprets the timeout argument as microseconds again

+   * New macros: PA_LIKELY(), PA_UNLIKELY(), PA_CLAMP() and PA_CLAMP_UNLIKELY()
+ * Notes for packagers
