selecting which sound device is primary

[Kristof Vansant]

Selecting which sound device is primary. Where lies the responsability
for this? Is it with alsa? or with the sound daemon? or with gstreamer?

Suppose I have 2 sound cards and I want sound out one of them. How can I
configure this? (this can also solve the bttv detected before the sound
card issue) The best thing would be, if it was possible without a
reboot. Just select another card and puff the sound comes from that
card. 

And should the tool for doing this be part of gnome default?
