I found it useful.  If no sound is produced, it prompts you to send
some debug files off to bugzilla (which I didn't do as the debug info
was sufficient to determine that someone else already had done).  I've
also had an entertaining time in the past where some processes have
prevented other processes accessing the sound card.  At first boot, I
am as as confident as I can be that that this isn't the case.
