To clarify a bit here - gstreamer-properties is not actually changing
the audio device target.  This would seem to be a bug.

In my case /dev/audio default is pointing to the non functional audiohd
driver for the Envy24 based card.  The only way I was able to "force"
gnome apps to use audio810 was to rem_dev audiohd.  Rhythmbox etc. then
played sound but the quality was horrible. Ditto with flash stuff.  

I'll retest this with the 151 stuff later today.
