It's missing here.  Right now, I can't play a video on my TV and it use
the TV speakers with mpv.  With the old pipewire, I just clicked the
speaker, clicked the applications tab and then find the correct instance
of mpv if I have more than one open.  Paused ones usually show a pause
button.  Once I find the right one, I just click the little horizontal
bars and select HDMI and the sound moves to my TV.  Thing is, it
defaults to my main speaker for mpv and others.  When I change it for a
one time thing, it resets when I start a app again.  It was quite handy
and made it very easy to switch with any app, even Firefox or something. 

Maybe it will come back with the next upgrade.  Or I'll find out where
it went if it got moved or something.  I sure miss it tho.

Rebooted a few times, still have the plasma panel thingy pop up on the
wrong monitor every once in a while but other than that, resolution and
stuff works.  I'll spend a few days beating it into submission until it
consistently comes up like it should each time.  It's working better now
at least.
