Updated description and title to indicate that the selected device
choice is not respected for all audio, not just the test audio.
** Summary changed:
- Test Output Device Button does not respect when you change the output device
+ Can't change output device from Settings
** Description changed:
I upgraded my Desktop from 18.04 to 20.04.1 and noticed that in addition
to the appearance changes in the Sound Settings, there was also a
regression.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Settings app and go to Sound section.
2. Click 'Test' button beside chosen Output Device.
3. Press the 'Front Left', 'Front Right', etc buttons and hear the
corresponding output.
4. Change output device to a different device.
5. Try Step 3 again.
Expected: The test audio plays out of the newly selected device.
Actual: The test audio plays out of the previous device.
Toggling the device does not help. Nor does restarting the Settings app.
+
+ Note: This isn't just the Test Audio. Currently playing audio won't
+ switch to the selected device, nor will any new audio started after the
+ switch.
