Hi Matthew!

If I plug in a headset, I don't want to play my music through it. My
main sound card should stay the default device, instead I just want to
use the headset for my VoIP client. OTOH, if I plug in my shiny new
FurureTec DrumMaster with 26+1/2 channels, I do want it to become the
default device. So ideally the dialog box gets an option to not show
it again (and "just do it"), and not show it again (and "don't ever
touch my holy config files").

What do you think?

Martin
