I have an usb headset and I want to use it for Telegram voice messages. I tried to set the input device for Telegram in pulse audio volume control. The problem is, that I only can see applications in volume control as long as the application is recording. But I have to click on the recording button to record and I can't change the configuration in volume control at this time. How can I change the default input device or an input device for a specific application for my problem.

I found a solution. It's not the best solution because I have to change the default source in command line instead of change the source for Telegram only with GUI. Therefor I hope that someone has better information but for now I can use Telegram with my usb headset.
I started Pulse Audio command line:
> pacmd
Then I searched for the index of my audio source
>>> list-sources
1 is the index of my headset, so I set the default device with
>>> set-default-source 1
Last, I had to restart Telegram messenger.

Did you try with module-switch-on-connect? This should switch to your headset on plugging it in. – Takkat Dec 21 '15 at 08:26
