How to combine Output Mixer Sources

I know this is a PulseAudio topic, but Can pavucontrol be set up to force all software to switch to the chosen sound card at the same time?
While it is cool that you have ability to switch applications to a certain sound card, I would like to be able to just have all the applications switch to the sound card from the pavucontrol.
Is there some configuration file that controls it all?
Example while I can switch to either active sound device, such as Internal Analog Audio, or HDMI or my USB headphones, it does not switch the browsers, or applications, that seem to override this.
Instead, I have to open the Mixer itself and find the playback device and switch it there. It does not follow when you choose it from the popup of the Panel.
