I have another good reason for this... audiophiles.
For instance, I am looking into purchasing an Asynchronous outboard USB DAC for my 2-channel hifi music play back but would still like to use HDMI for my surround sound (Dolby/DTS/HD formats). Thus for me, either switching between one audio output device for music or another one for video would do the job.
Outputting over both simultaneously would do the job just as well.
