Spotify Ideas

I love spotify. It finds music, plays music and organizes music. Connects me easily to my friends and makes it a better experience listening to music.

Recently, however, I've become a bit disheartened to find that it lacks the option to select which audio output device to use.

Say I'm playing a game, and I really need to have that audio playing in my headphones (audio device 1). Now I really want to play some music out loud for the other people in the room via my speakers (audio device 2) . Neither Spotify or my game supports specifying which output device to use, so they'll use the default one in windows, effectively mixing the audio streams and ruining the experience for everyone involved.

Solution? Game bound to output device 1, and Spotify bound to output device 2. Now I'm hearing the lightsaber sounds in my headphones and my guests are listening to a beatiful symphony via the speakers. Simple!

To some extent I can understand that the game doesn't have this feature, because, well, it's a game. Spotify, however, is an application DESIGNED to deliver a music experience, and thus it really confuses me that a feature this fundamental is missing. VLC has it, WinAmp has it, foobar2000 has it and, hell, even WMP has it...  And I've been using those applications the way I need for ages. Now, adopting Spotify and the exciting features it brings, it feels like one step back.

I really hope you'll consider adding this feature. I'm no programmer, but it does seem rather simple to implement.
