I wonder why a USB audio device should suddenly become the
default at all, even if it's the right type(s).  SunRays should be
using $AUDIODEV, right?  For anything else, there ought to be a
way that interested apps could find out dynamically about hot-plugged
devices, and anything that already has a device probably wouldn't
be happy to find its name changing all of the sudden.

Thanks - I knew I forgot something that bugged me, and that was it.
