Various interface elements need to know what the primary sound output device is. For example:

  • This is the device that gnome-settings-daemon should change the volume of when you press the Quieter/Louder keys on the keyboard.

  • This is the device whose volume should be shown in the sound menu.

Deciding the primary sound output

At any moment, the primary output should be:

  1. If there are any Bluetooth audio output devices, the one most recently connected.
  2. Otherwise, if there are any USB audio output devices, the one most recently connected.

  3. Otherwise, the default PulseAudio device (device 0).

Unresolved issues

Need review from PulseAudio developers.
