+1 from me, but I think it would be much better to be able to create 
rules for devices! E.g. Comin' home ... plug my Laptop to HDMI and want 
to use the TV-speakers. After that shutting down ... next time without 
HDMI-connection it should start up using default output again! If USB 
headset is connected ... use its microphone ... and so on!
Rules like filtering Mails in Thunderbird!
Device:           Action:       Output:              Input:
no external       start with    internal speakers    internal microphone
HDMI/DP           start with    HDMI output          do not change
HDMI/DP           plug in HDMI output          do not change
Creative HS...    start with    do not change        Creative HS...
Creative HS...    plug in       Creative HS...       Creative HS...
If you disconnect sth. it falls back to last configuration!
