oddly enough, I can't change the output stream of 1.6 clients there aren't any console messages to put here, but I've taken a video and posted it to Youtube as evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCLjz0z2K-c
I realize this is likely an edge-case scenario, true. but it does present a problem.. I can't record my Let's Play..
the issue affect both Multiplayer (Seen in video) and Singleplayer, so it's certainly the client.

then explain to me why is it that I can redirect the output of Minecraft 1.5.2 and not 1.6.2. no environment variables change except for Minecraft. and if this isn't a bug in Minecraft, but in Java then what has Mojang done to cause the trigger?
Also, if you want another video detailing the specific behavior, I.E. 1.5.2 works, 1.6.2 doesn't, I'll be happy to provide one!
for clarification, here's the second video, as a follow-up for the issue at hand
why is this marked as a duplicate, and why do you refuse to acknowledge this might be a bug in minecraft? it's not an OpenJDK error as previous versions of minecraft allow me to switch the sound devices just fine, it's just minecraft that fails. please take another look at this and offer guidance as too what might be failing, because I'm unable to find any. until then. farewell

First: this isn't marked as a duplicate – MC-26748 is marked as a duplicate of this issue.
Second: I don't hear any Minecraft sounds in your second video, during the 1.5.2 portion.
Third: Lots of things changed with the 1.6 update, not just the Minecraft jar. In particular, the launcher, and the 3rd-party libraries used by Minecraft.
Fourth: The cause of, and a solution to, your problem is all in the comments of the issue linked as a duplicate to your issue: MC-26748.
This is not a minecraft issue. It's Java or your OS that is determining the audio output.
