Hi.

I've improved the script one step further, possibly. It set default_unit to 
the last play capable device previously. Now it just checks if newly attached 
device is playback capable and if it is sets default_sound_unit. 
default_sound_unit havn't been restored properly upon detach previously, 
because default_sound_unit has been set to the device that doesn't 
disappear/destroy upon detach. So, seems this should solve two possible 
problems in one shot. :) I have to note again: this script/patch may be ugly 
or rough.

P.S. If I attach the file instead of copying it's contents into the message 
body will it reach the list?
