I noticed when I was testing cinnamon a while ago, that their sound 
applet has a nice little feature. You can quickly change the current 
audio output device right from the applet. IMO this would be a nice 
addition.

For example I have a USB headset. When I plug these I have to go to 
Sound Settings > Output to make the indicator applet control its volume

Here's a screenshot of what I mean:
