Comment 21 for bug 772276

Dear David,
         Yes that did work - thanks for your help. I realize that you
are not familiar with KDE but I have noticed of late on the Kubuntu
forum that there were a number of people moving to it from Ubuntu.
         Now regarding pulse audio. I had thought that one of its main
attributes was with its flexibility to handle different input and
output devices. I had found previously with Kubuntu 10.10, that if I
put my Logitech Laptop speakers and WebCam at the top of the list under
KDE's System Settings > Mutimedia > Phonon, when either or both were
disconnected it would fall back to the next on the list and use it.
Reconnecting the devices would automatically use them again. A very
pleasing flexibility.
         What you are suggesting as a solution is by comparison a
primitive desktop interface and this should be fixed in the interests of
usability. I certainly hope that something is done soon to make pulse
audio in 11.04 work in the same way as it did in 10.10. I am not
impressed when a new release results in one step forward and two steps
backward.
