I don’t really understand why you need to use pulseaudio for this purpose (as some people in this thread mentioned). I had a similar issue with an on-board sound card and an external headset that was plugged in via usb and recognized as a separate sound card. I wrote a simple udev rule (1 line) that switched the symlink /etc/asoundrc to two prepared asoundrc files in one of which the headset was the default device and in the other the on-board sound card. So if the headset was plugged in it was used exclusively and the other way round. :)
