Summary: Fast possibility to switch Audio Output device

Area: TV, radio, movie, etc

Description:

Hello

i think a useful feature for mediaportal might be a faster way to change the used audio device an restart the movie/stream/mp3/whatever.
ATM the only way I know is to go for example to "settings -> My Movies -> select audio device" and then restart the movie (in case i started it before) and resume at the last position.

the background is, that 50% of the time i use the hdmi digital out device. but the other 50% i am in need of better sound, so i use my 5.1 receiver which is the digital out device. and alway switching the device in the "long way" is really annoying.

i could imagine a feature, which allows me, to cycle the different devices with one button on the remote or in the context menu of the movie/mp/whatever
