I agree. This would be a great addition to the platform.

For instance, we need to consider that the sound is being re-routed from one output channel to another (headphone -> internal-speaker -> USB speaker -> HDMI, etc.)... that may or may not have any influence on the API design, just things we need to consider. -- Marcos Caceres
