 Looks like it was turned off:
 https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/2eb8ec93a2ad79cffe3371867e1a8951e65fed82

 Though I guess at least in 2015 it worked for you?

 I am afraid some rather archaic code needs to be dug out to make it work
 on older systems: https://pulseaudio-
 discuss.freedesktop.narkive.com/0h3Q2vci/patch-modules-coreaudio-replace-
 deprecated-functions
 I will check what is going on with Sonoma now.

 P. S. By the way, how do I check `pulseaudio` on its own, without VLC? Who
 know how messed is VLC code, it may not be PulseAudio bug after all.
