Currently we do not have the concept of a default device per application. You,
as an application developer, may choose any specific device (which is
essentially an application default device) or use what the user has set as
their preferred playback device (default device).

Yes and no. I would agree its short sighted on the IE side. But being able to
set a "default" device for application? is that possible?

Their is no way. :( Its up to the user EXIT MY application. Set a default
devide in control panel, Start my application, go back to control panel and
reset the default...
Not sure thats what a user experience to the positive effect would be called....
You're complaining about something completely different here. Even if there
were a programmatic way to change the default audio device, that wouldn't help
this situation one bit, because there's still no way for IE to bring up a
dialog to choose one.
What you are describing is an application problem, not a system problem. The
application here (IE) was too short-sighted to provide a way to select an audio
device. Complain to the Internet Explorer team, not to the audio team.
