Description Gandalf Lechner 2016-08-13 09:42:17 UTC 
Using current neon packages (git stable), one experiences the following behavior: When a bluetooth speaker is connected (say, to a laptop), all sound is still played over the internal speakers. Clicking through kmix's dialog, one can configure certain applications to play via the external speaker. 

I believe that usually, the intended and expected behavior is that after connecting a bluetooth speaker, the sound is played via this speaker. Would it be possible to set the default speaker automatically to the external speaker when it is connected? At the moment, one can set the external speaker to be default, but this setting is forgotten when it is disconnected and then connected again.

Reproducible: Always
