# A DSP sink -- a speaker tuning filter-chain, or EasyEffects -- can be the
# selected output without being where loudness lives. Changing its volume alters
# the level going *into* the processing: the display moves while the speakers do
# not, and on a chain with a compressor or limiter the tone changes too. Resolve
# through it to the physical sink it feeds.
#
# With no argument this resolves the current default output, so when headphones or
# HDMI are selected it returns those, not the speakers a tuning happens to front.
# Callers that need to describe some *other* output -- an output switcher naming
# the next one in the rotation -- pass that sink explicitly.
