Use visible buttons to switch the default device
Summary:
We get numerous complaints that it's hard to figure out how to make an audio device the
default for playback or output. Despite the multiple methods (drag-and-drop, hamburger
menu item, radio button in the KCM), it still seems un-discoverable for many users.
This patch attempts to address the issue by standardizing on a single consistent method:
Make default buttons right there on the list items for the devices, for both the applet
and the KCM.The buttons are only shown when there is more than one device that could
be the default.
Various other elements of the UI are slightly adjusted or adapted to accommodate this change.
