Does this mean Ubuntu needs to keep a list of each executable that
should use a device other than the default one -- for example, that
shtoom should always use the headset, if present, rather than the
speakers? Or do programs need to remember that themselves? Or would you
have to switch manually each time?

Either way, it would be great if the choosing could be done some way
that's not an alert -- perhaps extending the Volume Control applet. I
can fill out an "Interface design" section in the spec if you'd like.

Cheers
