I think gnome-volume-control itself will work fine, but not in
pavucontol. That's because g-v-c does some active fiddling with the
active streams AFAIK. I'm not sure that this setting is then actively
monitored, so that unplugging then replugging will all just work and the
"fallback/default" device will be set properly... I've a funny feeling
it reverts back and then isn't changed... I'd have to double check tho'.
