Improve pulse audio support for Intel HDMI

Hi,

I have a Tronsmart Ara x5 plus and I am using the latest 8.0 beta. The sound is configured to be output via ALSA IntelHDMI but whenever I want to use my Bluetooth headphones I need to change it to Pulse Audio. That is annoying.
To overcome this I have changed the default sound output to Pulse Audio and redirected the ALSA to it by manually invoking (ssh) 'pactl load-module...'. This worked flawlessly, but it needs to be reinvoked after each reboot.
/etc is readonly so I cant change default.pa.
How can I make it persistent? Shouldn't this be done by a udev rule?

you can do it via autostart.sh

Update: Sadly the IntelHDMI output stops working after an uncertain amount of usage when PulseAudio is used so I had to remove my autostart and reboot
