Daniel: I have to disagree with you on the "no-win situation". Ubuntu is the only distro that I know that puts the hotplugged sound device as default. People expect a certain behavior from their linux machine based on what they got accustomed to from using other distros and they don't get that with Ubuntu.
This is what bothered me the most, the fact that all other distros I came across behaved according to a certain rule that only Ubuntu would not adhere to. -- Hotplugged sound devices get sound card index of 0 instead of PCI card https://launchpad.net/bugs/46996 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
