I would say this is probably the main issue. As a solution I would suggest to
use the same workflow that the Dolphin places panel has. It allows hiding
entries in the list and then there is a "global" toggle to re-show all hidden
devices. This way it is possible to effectively get rid of those devices or at
least visually de-emphasise them by marking them hidden but keeping them
visible. The action for hiding an entry would go into that devices hamburger
button. The action to show all hidden entries would go into the main hamburger
button.

My suggestion would not address Nate's concern of currently-not-used devices
being too visually busy, however since we allow playing audio on non-default
devices, I think it might be a can of worms if were to introduce a different
representation between default and non-default devices, since multiple devices
can be important at any given moment depending on how people route their audio.
