In your post 33 describing the steps you stated "1. RPI always on forever" which is the scenario I tested.

I think there is another scenario where at some time after the fallback to HDMI has occurred, the USB Audio device is turned on or plugged back in and rather than having to open Audio Config and manually set the Output device it is automatically set when the USB Audio device is detected. Its could be doable but I'm not sure how much work is involved.
The "other scenario" is also the issue that remains for me, though I agree that its not very important. I wondered whether it could be fixed by making Moode save the last device the user chose somewhere. Then as long as the active device does not match the last chosen device (because the fallback to HDMI occurred), any time a new audio device shows up, Moode would just need to briefly check whether its the device the user chose and if so, switch output. As with anything, that's probably easier said than done. And others may be happy with the fallback and would prefer not to revert. And its just minor details, appreciate all your attention to sorting it out!
