For those who really want to get rid of the dialog in the meantime, here
is what I did in order to quick-fix my own system. I made a simple hack,
and followed the steps listed here to rebuild the unity-settings-daemon
package

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb

The hack (to be done in place of the "patch -p1" step in the guide) is
to disable the new functionality; I did this in a possibly very
inappropriate way, please don't blame me too much. I edited the file
unity-settings-daemon-14.04.0+14.04.20140414/plugins/media-keys/what-
did-you-plug-in/dialog-window.c and added "return 0;" as the very first
line of the function  wdypi_dialog_run. There may be better ways.

My two cents on the solution is to chose a fallback, issue a
notification, and allow the user to configure the default behaviour in
the audio settings. That would be less in the way.
