Comment(by aapgorilla):

 Well I just tried on the latest cooker in Gnome  and every time I want to
 watch a movie or listen to some music I have to mess around with some
 volume applet to get pulse to use the correct stream

 I just want to plug in the device and enjoy some music or a movie with
 full surround sound without having to mess around with some volume applet,
 why can't a simple feature be added to always prefer a device overriding
 the per stream setting which pulse so cleverly tries to remember. The fact
 that I played a movie or listened to some music on the internal soundcard
 last time doesn't mean I want do do it next time, it simply means last
 time I wasn't home and didn't have that card available but now I am home
 and want to use it....
