#908: Mark Hot-plugged Devices as Default

 Pulseaudio needs the capability to set hot-plugged devices as default
 sink/sources.

 As far as I know, set set-default-sink, set-default-source only works if
 the devices are present during daemon startup.

 Use cases:
 *USB Sound Cards* -> laptops

 I'm tired of opening up pavucontrol and marking my usb sound card as the
 default sink every time the usb cable wiggles the wrong way or I want to
 move across the room or when resuming from sleep.

 (On a side note, usb sound devices should be marked as default - as
 windows does I think - because they are obviously inserted with conscious
 effort by the user and with the end goal of producing sound.)
