Please don't ever make this behavior the default!

Imagine, you have an audio setup mixing sound and pushing it out and 
then you plug in some USB device that also has "audio capability" and 
your production sound gets redirected there. A nightmare!

Knowing what you do and the system behaving in predictable way is one of 
the beauties of UNIX and FreeBSD in particular.

Don't make it so that even idiots can use it because then, only idiots 
will be using it!
