Ubuntu ships with pulseaudio and at the same time does not offer any
(gui, at least) configuration tool to choose your sound card. This
affects any user who has more than one sound device.

The easiest solution at the moment seems to be the following:
-install pavucontrol
-go to the "Output Devices" Tab in pavucontrol, click on the arrow next to your 
preferred card and check "Default"
-if you still cannot hear your stream, go to "Playback" Tab, click on the arrow 
next to your stream and "Move Stream..." to your preferred output device

So the current situation requires everyone with more than one soundcard to 
research and install extra packages.
Since Pulseaudio has become default, i guess the solution would be something 
like integrating or linking "gnome-sound-properties" and "pavucontrol" in a way 
that naive users (like me) can deal with ;-)
