Pavucontrol Recording tab is filled with Plasma PA entries on recent KDE
This may be related to having multiple audio input devices or a quirk of my local setup, but pavucontrol' is full's Recording tab is filled with entries from org.kde.plasma-pa identifying themselves as PlasmaPA-VolumeMeter.
Adding org.kde.plasma-pa to the mainwindow.cc file next to the existing application ID checks resolved the issue for me:
if ((app = pa_proplist_gets(info.proplist, PA_PROP_APPLICATION_ID)))
if (strcmp(app, "org.PulseAudio.pavucontrol") == 0
|| strcmp(app, "org.gnome.VolumeControl") == 0
+ || strcmp(app, "org.kde.plasma-pa") == 0
|| strcmp(app, "org.kde.kmixd") == 0)
return;
