Description
This PR introduces a new utility module in checkbox support to scan and control sources and sinks using both Pipewire and Pulseaudio in a transparent way.
The
mainfunctions explains a bit how to use it, but in general:It's non trivial to control nodes outside of the iteration, especially with Pipewire: Nodes are ephemeral, and there's no identifier that is guaranteed to survive after changing device profile.

Tests
Run it as a script, and check if the sink on your machine changes.
NB: there are sinks that are available but not actually usable: your settings panel might not update the displayed value in this case.
