  It's the cycle of life. :) However the "Play all audio through this device" menu item is well and truly redundant now since the functionality is now exposed right on the main UI. I don't think anyone will miss it.

  Yeah, that bug is fixed here. The problem is that the "raise maximum volume" settings does not take into account the user-configured maximum volume setting and breaks when you use hardware media keys. It's quite messy and broken at the moment. We could fix that problem independently of this, but conceptually it's quite messy to have two subtly different ways to do the same thing.

  After removing the menu item, the only way to raise the maximum volume is on a global basis using the settings window, after which the behavior is not buggy at all.

Early feedback indicated for example that the current "Default Device" button might be too big for people's taste. Maybe @manueljlin can help with creating a harmonic overall design.
  
  Definitely open to suggestions.
