Set Default Playback Device to next one

[dohanin]

I have been searching for a while for a script to toggle the default sound device, so that i can easily switch between Speakers and Headphones.  Some added a tray icon and keep running on background, some will call up the control panel briefly, while some need to call nircmd externally.

I ended up gathered some cool scripts (sorry, i failed to recall the original source) and modified for my own taste.  It will get the current default playback device, and then set to the next one.  It will print an icon on the screen, and then will just exit.  Good to use with shortcut key on keyboards, etc.

Feel free to try.

I was able to retrieve the actual icons info but found it not satisfactory to draw the icon using GUI.  So, I simply use SplashText with Webdings font.

Thank you, dohanin, this script helps me a lot with my two devices: optical and speakers. Works great on Windows 8.1.
