Ok so, I ended up reading this thread to understand the correct usage of pacmd:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/71863/how-to-change-pulseaudio-sink-with-pacmd-set-default-sink-during-playback and used the script that user traumtaenzer posted: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4055/audio-output-device-fast-switch This guy solved the hard part about the "toggle" operation, how to toggle to one output device or the other. I then went to KDEs Custom Shortcuts window and added a new Global Shortcut > Command/URL and configured a key on my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 to trigger the Action, and in the Action tab I pointed to the scriptfile. Now I can tell all my applications to redirect sound to my USB headset or my 5.1 system with just 1 key press. The toggling works perfectly between 3 audio devices as well. Awesome stuff.
