Yes, I know. I wasn't proposing it as a complete solution: as I said I propose it as a "basic start". For the long term we really need a list of appropriate settings for each driver. What this WOULD do, though, is give basic output through two speakers on every card, which a) ought to be the case and b) means people won't think ALSA is broken as they do now. -- adamw
