Selecting USB sound device

[Bart Kuik]

Hello,

I have a laptop (Packard Bell R4340, Intel Celeron M) with a built-in AC'97 
soundchip. I also have an external USB sound device, a Creative Soundblaster 
MP3+ which is attached to my hifi-set. In Windows this all works well, and 
my USB Soundblaster becomes the default sound device as soon as I plug it 
in, and that's what I expect it to do.

Yesterday I installed Ubuntu Hoary, and it detects my external USB 
soundblaster. I can even change its volume in the Volume Control (so I 
expect it to work), but I can't find any way to select it as the default 
sound device for ESD/Alsa/Gstreamer/whatever. I really expect a simple way 
to do this without using the terminal and 'sudo -s' to make changes to the 
configuration.

Is there a simple gui-tool to switch between sounddevices?
