Answering my own question based on more research on Fedora Rawhide
updated today and an Fedora 10 update today. For some reason I've missed
the fact that on the "Playback" tab in PAVucontrol there is a "move
stream" drop down. This works on both F10 and F11 (rawhide) and is
immediate. Excellent!
Setting the default on F10 does not work even if the sound apps are
restarted, however, today I could see that the default setting is
respected on F11 (rawhide). For instance, using firefox to play videos
from youtube will respect the default setting if one reloads the page.
So, the latest version of pulseaudio on F11 (rawhide) works very well in
respect to directing streams to output devices.

Peter,
You can select which device to use with `pavucontrol` at runtime.
I can see the "default" setting in pavucontrol but under F10 and various
recent rawhide tests I've never been able to use pavucontrol to get
audio output directed to an USB head set I have.
The head set pops up as an output device in pavucontrol but setting it
as default will not get audio to be directed to it (I need to resort to
similar hard methods mentioned in this post to get the default to change).
Shall pavucontrol be able to change default output between speakers and
the headset?

You don't want to have a "device" parameter to the ALSA<->pulse plugin
at all. None is needed in asound.conf or .asoundrc.
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
device "alsa_output.hw_0_0"
}
I've tried a few things with no success.
Thanks for any help.
Peter
