Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee

I'm using two sound devices on my computer (internal and usb-speakers). Therefore I configured pulse to create a combined output device and use it as it's default. Using gstreamer-properties I set pulse as default output device.

All apps using gstreamer as totem and rhythmbox play properly on both devices but not banshee. It is reported as pulse client, but there is no sound (currently I've only connected usb speakers).

Unloading the driver of the internal sound card banshee plays properly the music using the usb device.

That's why I assume that -- although it plays it's sound using pulse -- it uses the first pulse output device, not the combined one which is default. Even changing gstreamer to explicitly use the combined device, not the default doesn't make banshee behave right.

During a quick search in banshees source code I couldn't find the proper place to change this behavior. Maybe someone else is more lucky.
