With a sink-mapping configured, sinkInfoCb could report the wrong sink's volume depending on the order in which PulseAudio enumerated sinks during a pa_context_get_sink_info_list sweep. The mapping override was keyed on the mutable current_sink_name_ and ran before the 'pick a running sink' fallback, which also mutated current_sink_name_. If the default sink was running while the mapped target was suspended, the fallback could reassign the selection to the default sink after the mapping had already matched, so the reported sink depended on enumeration order (and each sweep wrote the state twice, causing a flicker). Resolve the target up front: key the mapping on the stable default_sink_name and, when a mapping is in effect, treat the mapped target sink as the sole definitive selection - every other sink is ignored and the running-sink fallback is skipped. The default-sink + running-fallback behavior is unchanged when no mapping applies. Verified in isolation across all sink enumeration orders.
