has anyone other than me observed the effect that during audio

No, I have not seen that. Once I select a device, it is always used.
Any hint to avoid this welcome.
Do you have a default device set? I haven't done it in a while, but
even under pipewire it is possible to use pavucontrol to set an output
device as the default. I think I recall that once that is set, other
outputs are not used unless explicitly requested. But I could be
wrong, as things constantly change as a developer's idea of the use case
changes.
