[ltp] Pulse audio per device setup?

[Richard Neill]

Dear All,

Just wondered if anyone has solved the problem with bluetooth headsets, 
voip, and pulseaudio?

Gnome used to have a sound prefs that allowed one to set different 
routings depending on the class of application (eg VoIP applications to 
bluetooth headset; media players to main soundcard, system beeps to main 
soundcard but quieter). This has now gone, and not been replaced.

So, is there a way to make sure that ekiga always routes to the 
bluetooth headset, but that media players (and the ekiga ringing tone) 
go to the speakers?

I know that one can move the streams around via the volume applet, but 
every time I switch the BT headset off and on again (or go out of 
range), pulseaudio re-routes the sound to the main speakers, and 
requires manual intervention each time to put it back!

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks - Richard
