I expect NSSound by default uses the selected sound output device (selected in the Output tab of the preference panel). But it seems to have a setPlaybackDeviceIdentifier: method that I've never tried using.

Problem is NSBeep gets played through the user's internal Mac speakers where as using NSSound is played through a user's external speakers assuming they are using them.  This can make a big difference in sound volume.  Is there any solution/workaround for this?  Or just to make a preference to disable the calls to NSSound?  Thanks for the input,
