Summary:                    Choosing of default playback device on the fly
Description: 
Situation: There is on-board sound card and one pluggable (USB/PCMCIA)
sound card which is preferred to play the sound.

Problem: If the preferred sound card is plugged-in before the boot time,
it is taken as the default output card (as of snd-card-0 settings and
driver is loaded first), but when the sound card is plugged after the
boot, it gets index 1 and is not the default.

Suggestion: Please consider creating plugin to use preferred sound card as
default output whenever it is plugged in and use fallback card whenever it
is not available, or let the user space program (shell script) decide
which card is default.

Usage: This is good for laptops using external sound card at home and
built-in on the way.
