Comment 6 for bug 21270

I can confirm this in a way. I think the nature of the problem changed slightly. With recent Feisty i set all audio outputs (and the capture) to USB audio, which was plugged in after the system booted.

All new applications use the USB Headset correctly, but applet still follows the default audio device. The whole issue is even more complex now that the new audio configuration panel was introduced, one could have more than one default audio output, which one should the applet control?
