           Summary: Request - better ergonomics around multiple audio
                    devices

SUMMARY

I have:
a) A bluetooth headset, with its own USB dongle
b) A soundbar on the bottom of my monitor, which shows up as a USB device

Sometimes I'll remove the headset's USB dongle and use it with my laptop, when
working from a coffee shop.

Switching between outputs from the icon in the system tray works. It's fine.
It's just not very ergonomic.

Requests (I can split into separate tickets if they are viable):

a) Allow keyboard shortcuts to be mapped to allow switching between devices. 

b) Make "simultaneous output" a _default_ option (not necessarily selected, but
at least present in the device menu) when there is more than one output device.
 (Right now, you have to find it in the settings and enable it.)

c) Don't switch away from "simultaneous output" if a device becomes no longer
present. (E.g. when I take the USB dongle for my headset to the coffee shop, or
even on vacation, when I get back home and plug back in the USB dongle,
"simultaneous output" should still be selected.)
