PyAudioWPatch does not pick up when connect new device such as usb/bluetooth headset

[minh-wp]

What problem are you facing?

• [ ] audio isn`t recorded
• [ ] audio is recorded with artifacts
• [ ] problem with "silence"
• [x ] other

What is the cause of the error (in your opinion)?

• [ ] PyAudio\PortAudio bug
• [ ] I just need help(or answer)

❗ Before creating, complete the checklist:

• [ ] I have provided a minimal reproducible example (and checked its correctness)
• [ ] I'm sure I fully described the problem

If the problem is related to the inability to record sound from speakers, then before creating this issue, try to first record audio using the provided examples (for example, simple_recording_app.py)

Start your issue here 👇

• once PyAudioWPatch is loaded, it only maintains the list of channels at the load time, we can not refresh it to pick up new plug-in devices such as usb/bluetooth headsets.
• It would be great to also able to subscribe (or refresh) to pickup the defaultOutputDevice and defaultInputDevice when they are changed

Hi🖐 Adding auto-detection can make the behavior of the library a little confusing, so this feature is rejected. But maybe I will add to the next release the ability to re-intialize an instance at runtime.

Now you can use Proxy-pattern to control PyAudio instance, and renew it on demand

Would it be possible to have events/notification when the audio setting changes? (i.e: new bluetooth devices added) So, we can renew the instance to get the latest?
