> Asoundconf has been removed in karmic, in anticipation of the new
GNOME volume control + pulse being more useful, allowing users to more
easily control which sound card is used.

This sort of screws over any installation that doesn't use pulse or
isn't running GNOME. For instance, KDE has its own way of telling xine
which device to use, but apps that use the alsa API directly ignore
those. I realize getting ahold of the script from an outside source (or
an older package) works around the issue, but even with a new GNOME
mixer app, I don't see why this environment-independent terminal script
had to go.

Please consider Kubuntu and similar flavors that don't run pulse nor
GNOME.
