I agree with Timothy that this is probably not a problem that many
people are encountering, and thus not paper cut material, for the
following reasons: since :

1. The general audio-related use case of a computer running Ubuntu will be to 
either plug something into the 3.5mm audio jack or simply use the built-in 
speakers.
2. The general use of HDMI is on modern TVs, and while I know there are home 
theatre PCs out there running Ubuntu, I don't believe the HTPC scene is very 
big, and certainly does not include the 'average user', which is where the 
paper cuts project focuses its attentions

That said, maybe including attached audio devices in the sound menu
might be a nice improvement, instead of a bug fix. I'm not just talking
about output either. Perhaps including others, such as:

1. Portable media players, which will open in the default music manager when 
selected
2. Output, which will switch to that device for output
3. Input, similar to output.

I'm going to draw some attention to this from the desktop team, and see
what they think about doing that.
