Veromix plasmoid keeps not working

Question

The last time I have tried veromix I had a problem that sometimes it would somehow "lose" the connection to pulseaudio and just don't update the outputstreams any more or just flatout not displaying anything anymore. Usually killing plasma and restarting it "solved" it but that was still a huge inconvenience for an audio mixer. So I stopped using it. Then I tried it again and sip was broken.
Now python[2]-sip, sip etc have been updated and veromix has successfully worked for me for a whole day! But today it does not work anymore. It shows the default oxygen volume icon instead of the completely white one (don't know where it is from) and it shows no sound cards.
With plasmate's plasmoidviewer veromix-plasmoid -f horizontal this is all I keep seeing:
$ plasmoidviewer veromix-plasmoid -f horizontal
veromix icon installed
Outputting dbus-servie file
Now veromix-gtk-git works just fine. But kdeplasma-applets-veromix or kdeplasma-applets-veromix-git don't and I have absolutely no idea why they don't because yesterday they both worked. There's no error message or something like that and a short google search has shown nothing on how to debug plasmoids.
I just discovered thatn when I open veromix from veromix-gtk-git, the (already "running") plasmoid changes its icon to the correct one and displays the output devices and streams correctly. But when trying to change volumes I get
