Hello, pulseaudio[1] has that functionality. You should check it out. On KDE , Kmix supports pulseaudio and I am pretty sure it support auto switching too.
PulseAudio is more or less crap. It still doesn't support (semi-)professional audio cards.
If you don't really need it's super-duper extra functions like gaplessly moving a stream from one sound card to another you better don't bother with PA. It rather makes things worse than better.
Yes, why not repeat that opinion in every thread where pulse is brought up? Its not like its repetitive.
I agree with Heiko Baums and Oon-Ee Ng, this is possible because ... If PA should be able to solve the OP's issue, then it's unimportant what issues PA could cause. If somebody replies with a guess, that PA might solve the issue on GNOME, because KMix is able to solve it, then a hint, that PA could cause serious issues IMO is ok.
