I agree, having policies for this would be great. I do it quite a lot
with pulseaudio but transparent it is certainly not.
Given the centrality of sound to me using or rescuing a machine the
increasingly Heath Robinson architecture of Linux sound kinda scares

keep its hands off an alsa device I wanted for ecasound. It paid about
as much attention to me as my cat does :-)
