My Question or Issue
Spotify fails to properly clean up sound streams so everytime I switch to my phone I get a new sound stream when I switch back to my PC. Also... Why can't I upload a text file here? Why can't I insert code samples for bash or text? Why these arbitrary limits when reporting bugs?
The output from
pacmd list-clients
is attached here and I also attached a screenshot from pavucontrol
15 client(s) logged in.

I just wanted to amend that a friend tried to replicate this and got the same issue. To replicate (running a similar system configuration as above):
As of yet I have found no resolution to this issue other than periodically close spotify and start it again. When doing that, all the sound streams are deallocated.
There doesn't seem to be any way to track status of a bug in this "bug report system" other than hoping other people having the same problem notices it and increase awareness of the bug until some developer sees it and decides to investigate further.
Hey there you, Yeah, you! 😁 Welcome - we're glad you joined the Spotify Community! While you here, let's have a fun game and get…
