Is a toolbar button to toggle output devices possible?

File > Preferences > Output > Output Device

I'm unable to find a way to create a new button which will either toggle between two different output devices (soundcards) or, at the least, switch to a specific device. For example, I have an M-Audio and on-board sound, and I'd like to be able to have a toolbar button which changes which of these is being used. It would be great if it also stopped the song, changed the device, and then restarted the song; but I realise that's asking for a whole lot! 

BTW, TIA and yes, I did try, but there's no output in the toolbar button action list for Output Device, from what I can see, nor can I find any mention of it anywhere.

Ok, installed and verified menu_addons.dll is working, however, in the
Quote
Toolbar>Customize>Change>Command Group>Context|Main
menus, I can't find any reference to either the "Output" command or even any "Playback" options at all.

Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?

$imagebutton(1,1,b_output.png,b_output_h.png,Preferences/Playback/Output,)
In panels UI works.

in the Column UI really do not have this button command

list all available custom commands can be viewed by installing  foo_runcmd.dll
File > Run Command...

Done, hmmm ... still don't see File>Preferences>Output>Output Device; and no apparent way to link it to a toolbar button / list.

To my knowledge this wasn't possible with the current sdk. I have never heard this would be possible with a component. As for the core, this has been asked for pretty often. Also for a reasonable default fallback (Windows standard output) for the device list... (Good for portable reasons). has never been done, Peter may not be interested, you never know.
