Selecting the output via the radio buttons should set the output for all applications. Or at least, there should be an option in Preferences to make the radio buttons behave this way. I realize this is an enhancement request and as such will likely be dismissed. But as enhancement requests go, I think this is a pretty important one because it's a major PITA to set an output device, and then dive into the mixer to set the correct output for each application.
Is xfce4-mixer the correct component? Last release was done 6 years ago.
(In reply to Theo Linkspfeifer from comment #1) > Is xfce4-mixer the correct component? Last release was done 6 years ago. Well, the controls are in the pulseaudio-panel-plugin, but I (perhaps incorrectly) assumed that xfce4-mixer was a level below that in the XFCE hierarchy.
