Well, that is a design decision inherited from the devices handling.
If your preferences are set to use the USB headset, but the headset is
not plugged, then it will use the default soundcard.

It is the same for the network interfaces, if the interface that you
want to use is not available, it will use another one that is available.

I'm not ready to change that behavior anytime soon unfortunately as it
would require complex changes and dual preferences handling.
