Comment(by coling):

 Yeah, this is expected. The default device in PA is more of a fallback,
 not an active thing. It is by design that it doesn't move streams. g-v-c
 specifically moves devices when it sets the default, so it's it's code
 that decides this policy.

 FWIW, all of this will change in the not too distant future and there will
 be more robust routing systems implemented inside PA that will provide
 greater flexibility and control.

 In the mean time, your workaround is likely valid, but obviously you won't
 be able to override the choice on a per-application basis (e.g. in
 pavucontrol) and expect it to "stick", but this is likely something you
 can live with :)

Comment:

 Disabling stream target device reading as described [wiki:DefaultDevice
 here] by adding

 {{{
  load-module module-stream-restore restore_device=false
 }}}

 to ''/etc/pulse/default.pa'' solved the issue here. I am wondering if
 there was a more elegant solution, and if there may be side effects I
 might not be aware of.

 By using '''pacmd''' from 0.9.21/0.9.22 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS/11.04 we are
 supposed to change the default output sink of a running daemon to sink 3
 by

 {{{
 pacmd set-default-sink 3
 }}}

 In ''Output Devices'' from gnome-volume-control sink 3 is marked active as
 expected but sound will still be send to the previously selected sink 0.

 We are therefore unable to reliably change the output sink from the
 command line.
