I attached my Gstreamer configuration for audiosinks.  When Rhythmbox plays
continually through a list it plays nice, the sink name remains the same no
matter how many tracks are played.  The moment I "skip" the sink disappears and
reappears under a new name.

IMO, readable clients should not brute force themselves onto the output device
because this defeats (in my setup) the fundamental reason for using JACK.  I
want flexibility to send audio through filters, or pipe them to a recording
device etc. and to have an application brute force onto my sound card makes it
unusable.  The vlc interface is nice in that a user can specify what to bind to
by default.  My issues with vlc are interface and stability related, Rhythmbox
has everything nailed until I skip tracks.
