Applications, for no known reason, have switched their audio output from the system default (internal speakers) to my Bluetooth headset. This started with Eudora, then befell QuickTime Player, Safari, and iChat. How is the system determining, by application, which audio I/O device to use for it's sound? I've not noticed anything suspicious in any of these app's plists, in fact most of them haven't been modified. Any pointers are welcomed. It was indeed the culprit. It was very strange though how this started "eating" applications almost one by one. And it wasn't that all newly launched apps were "eaten", sometimes I'd launch them a few times and there'd be no incident but once "eaten" remained fuxored.
