It applies equally well to a father at home listening to audio playback on his pc, and when his kids go to bed he can then plugin a USB headset and have the audio re-routed to that as just another example.
Then there's the cases when you're dealing with game audio playback where you might want to switch between your stereo and a headset.
Again, this barely works on Windows.

Instead, every part that has to do with audio implements largely the same functionality, and hits the same problems as PA did. Instead of being able to point to PA for making sound crap, you can now say that *everything* is crap.
Taking over the devices is a BAD IDEA. Providing a separate mechanism to provide the audio switching functionality is a much better idea.

Perhaps I'm wrong but I thought you were calling to keep complexity out of the drivers.
