Alright, I've got another corner case: You've got some awesome music on your touch device (smartphone or tablet) and you've got an always-on media centre or server with speakers attached. I know that PulseAudio (or how our audio stack it's called) is divided in a server and client software configur

+1 for a quicker way to change sound input and output. Generally I use my computer speakers but whenever a phone call comes in I plug in my headset. It usually takes me to long to plug in the headset, and change the sound input and output settings to answer the call in time. -- Mailing list: https
