You can change "Event 'remove' on sink" according to your use case. Run pactl subscribe and then plug/unplug your headphone, etc. to see what it outputs.

On my laptop, remove and new works fine for the bluetooth headphone, but it doesn't work for my 3.5mm earphone, when which is unplugged the event is change instead of remove.
