So...
The sound test failed when I had rhythmbox running.
Aside from that, the usage model seems very strange.
1) I'm supposed to pick a PCM device and know what the difference is
between:
Intel 82801DB-ICH4
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - MIC ADC
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - MIC2 ADC
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - ADC2
Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958
intuitively? (Moreover, I'm asked to do this in two different places.)
2) I can choose to have no default audio card. Not sure that makes sense.
3) How is the user supposed to know whether to use kudzu, /proc, or HAL
detection? Why are they even *given* a choice???
I'm failing to see what sort of usage case this is solving. Surely this
should all just work?
(I note we have a completely different Sound preference anyway, which is
somewhat simpler.)
