When a Bluetooth device connects, how does moOde know whether to set MPD audio output to Local or Bluetooth?
Ok, I well understood that's actually not possible Smile
But maybe a toogle option into blu-config could do the job for the annoying person like me Smile
Would it possible for moode to remember which audio output to use when that device is connected and to automatically switch to that output when the device connects and switch back to local when it disconnects or to the default of a previously connected bluetooth device.
Since every device has a unique MAC address, wouldn't this be possible? 

It would be really nice to be able to easily switch to headphones and back again.

It's doable but this feature would require several moving parts including a config screen and underlying sql table for storing the mac address, output pairs. I'll add to the TODO list.

Maybe a simpler idea would be to have the option to specify if moode should treat all bluetooth connections as incoming or as outgoing (and if it should connect them automatically).

The output device could then be set automatically depending on the answer. I guess most users would fall into either of those two categories with a minority using both incoming and outgoing connections.

Just an idea,
