Close, but no. The applications tab lets you mute on a per-audio-stream basis, but I want to have two streams playing and going to two different outputs. Currently, all audio goes to one output.

Example: I have my USB headphones on.

I want music playing to my headphones and I want email notification sounds to go to the laptop speakers so that I can be made aware that I've got email when I'm 10 feet working on a piece of hardware.

Similarly, I may want music to come out of the speakers, but only want the IM notifications to go to my headphones so that I don't disturb the music experience for my wife.

On Jaunty, I use padevchooser for this specific functionality.
