Most of my questions are not really on the abstraction but really on how to handle devices that can be plugged or may not be active at all times. USB, HDMI, Wireless/remote displays fall in this category. So on top of the traditional local headset/speakers, I can either have a variety of devices that can be used for the same use case. It's still not clear to me if I would need to create a set of new verbs (hifi_usb, hifi_hdmi) or if I can stick to the existing verbs and add a modifier?

You should stick to the existing verb and use a new device in most cases above where your use case is the same but the output device is different.
