You had my hopes up for a second, but I'm using kAudioHardwarePropertyDefaultOutputDevice.

The apps that do have their own UI for selecting the audio device, I understand why they wouldn't automatically switch. That makes sense to me, but some examples of ones that don't are Starcraft II, Second Life, VLC, browser-embedded streaming video plugins such as GoToMeeting, WebEx...
None of them have settings, but clearly don't play audio to the new device when it changes.
