I think at least some of the backend work is aimed at having sane defaults for the alsa/pulse side of things. I am not entirely certain how that half of the setting will work. I think either way that, once we have all parts of the settings there we will have to take a critical eye to what is simple, what is advanced and what is expert and layer things accordingly. Organization is something we will need to watch out and keep revising. > That said, I think it is great to have a set-up wizard like this and I > am delighted to see it happening.
