Bug#419154: rhythmbox: application does not appear to have a preference to select soundcard

[Stephanie Erin Daugherty]

Sven, 
Unfortunately, this doesn't work in the situation I described -
mulitiple sound cards being used for different purposes. Per-application
control of which sound card is used is a must in this situation - for
example, I may have one player being used to feed a set of speakers in
another room, and one player being used to feed a set of speakers (or
headphones) at my desk, or I may be doing sound production work.

Therefore simply using the systemwide preference isn't enough (although,
the systemwide preference should certianly be honored until the user
requests otherwise.)
