Description
Hello, I recently discovered this project and really like it! I've built the new Linux app but I've been getting the following error when activating the A2DP profile:
Failure: No such entity
airpodsApp: Failed to activate A2DP profile
I noticed that this was because the pactl command to activate this profile uses a2dp-sink, whereas on Arch Linux, it is a2dp_sink. I'm not sure where exactly this discrepancy comes from.
I think a potential solution could be to try a2dp-sink, and then fallback to a2dp_sink if the first command fails. I can definitely submit a PR with whatever decision is decided as well.

Research direction
Open linux/mediacontroller.cpp around line 196 and inspect the pactl invocation used to activate the A2DP profile. Reproduce the failure on Arch Linux and compare the profile names, then verify that A2DP activation succeeds with the supported naming variants.
