Hi

Pulseaudio plugin works fine for me.

But I'd like to have one improvement.

I often switch between headphone connected to my laptop and audio over HDMI.
Unfortunately PulseAudio can't handle this automatically, so every time I have to go through bunch menus and dialogs to change the settings.

It would be nice if could remember my favourite settings in context menu and just switch between them in two clicks.

So favourite should remember
- Output device
- Output channel (speakers/headphone)
- Output volume (optional on switch)
- Mic setting (for example I prefer mic from my headset when output goes through headset too)

I prefer not to interfere with PulseAudio's mechanism for storing volume settings. That would make the plugin maintenance harder as the it would have to know audio devices in user's system.

PA should already remember settings for each output and switch between them when the output changes (it does it here on xubuntu 15.10). If it doesn't it may be worth checking it with pulseaudio devs.

As explained in the previous comment.
