well, in the good old days there where a hardware switch as well as for 
wireless woking without the OS needs anything to know about

the same way as my HP workstations have a built-in speaker hidden with 
the front panel and a headset connector automatically turning off the 
internal speaker, the OS just sees a sound output and that's it

shiny new world with all the burden to the OS :-)
