I don't want to be too sarcastic ;-) but if we can write a wizard to fix
it, why don't we just fix it to begin with without the user clicking
"next" a few times?
I'm sure there are a million excuses for this control panel but they are
all excuses in my book. We can and should do better (especially the full
distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu who could fix the whole stack).
All three words in this menuitem are technobabble and the dialog itself
is full of technobabble; plus in most cases changing anything in the
dialog is going to break your system.
I do see the value in configuring a custom default video sink though.
Let me go do that now. Not.
