Since no one else had replied yet, I will take a shot. But this is
probably not what you were expecting.
I have had a similar problem, but with Iceape. I am sure I would see
this in iceweasel as well. It so happens that I installed PulseAudio a
few months back (Debian Testing). In PA, I can stream audio to any
device while "hot", i.e. the audio application does not need to be
restarted for the change in device to occur. PA is superb, really! Not
to mention the fact that you can play audio over the network without any
problems.
Now, in PA every application that is using an audio device appears in
the list of the device chooser GUI of PA. Not iceape though. It looks
like it does not use an audio device as a stand alone application. My
solution to this is to route the default audio stream that is going to
the my PCI audio card to my USB headset. After I am done with iceape, I
revert that change.
So, not ideal, but it works.
Regards.
