is it possible to change an audio output with hot keys?

for eg to play music through my headphones i use my xfi elite sound card and when i use my hifi speakers i use my onboard cards spdif out,

to do this at the moment i have to go into playback devices and change default play back device, is there a way i can use say ctrl+alt+Q to do this?

This has been asked before and I don't recall anyone posting a way to do it. May be, but not that I remember. Have you tried doing a google search for this?

ive had look about and can only find 3rd party stuff.

is it possible to have more than one audio out selected at the same time?

You can only have one default audio playback device. Can't have, for example, "Speakers" and "S/PDIF" or "Speakers" and "HDMI" at the same time.
