I don't know why that would be the case.  Once I select the output for each application it sticks.  Meaning that once I run an application and select HDMI for use by it, the next time I run the application it will use HDMI. 

So, I have mplayer using HDMI to get to my TV and the application I use for music to go my Intel device.

Yeah, it takes a bit of setting up.  But once you have it all configured the way you like it....it sticks.
