#330: Changing default sink/source doesn't affect streams already stored in
volume-restore.table

Some background to the problem:
I've been using a PCI sound card for ages, but today I went out and bought
a USB sound card to be able to control which sound goes where by using
software (i.e. Pulse Audio). I want this because I want Banshee to output
to my stereo, skype to the headphones and everything else to the desktop
speakers.
''(The USB soundcard was instantly detected by the running pulseaudio
process when I plugged it in - great work there guys!!!)''
I now configure pulse to use the USB card as default (through
{{{pavucontrol}}}) and I therefore expect all future sound to go through
the desktop speakers. This is not what happens though, since most of my
sound generating applications are already in volume-restore.table, pulse
will keep them on the PCI device sink.
After I removed {{{~/.pulse}}} everything worked as expected. But it took
some digging before I found that this was the cause of the problem...
Proposed solutions (I've no idea which, if any, are doable though):
1. Move all entries in the volume-restore.table to use the new default
device.
2. Same as 1) above, but prompt the user before.
3. Move all entries which hasn't been specifically configured by the user
to use a specific output device to the new default device. This obviously
requires that the file contains this information.
I'm using '''Ubuntu Hardy 8.04''', which comes with version
'''0.9.10-1ubuntu1'''.
