I'm finding that with my current setup, I frequently need to change the output device. Currently I need to select Library..Configure, then select Output under Playback Preferences, then use the Device pull-down.
Is there any way to get that device pull-down as one of the regular interface elements (like the buttons, the volume control, etc.)? I'm just using the default interface now, as it seems to have just about everything else I could want.
Thanks,

Try this

stualden, you can add multiple buttons to switch to particular devices - one button for one device. Or assign keyboard shortcut for each device. This is not pulldown menu but can be solution.
To add button: right click on button panel->Customize buttons->right window "Available commands"->Main->Playback->Device->select needed device->Add->OK. New button will be added.
Arch21 and Rollin, thanks for these suggestions! Looks like the pulldown requires Columns UI, which I don't have installed, although I will give it a shot.
For the button solution, Rollin, is there a source (or has someone published a guide) for custom buttons? Right now the generic buttons appear to just have a question mark on them.

You can set your own icon (*.ico file is needed) for each button using "Change icon...".

*.ico file can be created in graphical editor, for example, gimp or paint.net. Also many free icon files can be found in internet.
foobar2000 1.4 (hopefully public beta by the end of this year) has output switcher dropdown in the toolbar in default UI.
