USB headset sporadically not detected

Description
Since a few version of PulseAudio (at least since 7.0), I observe the following:
I unplug my USB headset from one port and plug it into another. This usually works, until at some point, the USB headset is simply not detected by PulseAudio anymore. I can unplug it and plug it in again. The USB headset is simply ignored, regardless how often I unplug and plug it in again. It shows up in dmesg and is listed as an ALSA device.
The problem is then resolved by killing the pulse audio daemon and restarting it again, that is I do the following:
- pulseaudio --kill
- pulseaudio --start
Notice that I do not unplug the USB headset while restarting PulseAudio. The previously ignored USB headset is recognized just fine by the restarted daemon.
