I'd *really* like to know what it is that makes audio such a black art on Debian. I suspect -- that manufacturers don't provide us with specs or drivers and every one is different (X has this problem, too, but configuring it mostly works, whereas configuring audio seems hopeless if it doesn't just work out of the box) (though so far I've completely failed to get X up on two of my five machines -- at least once it works it stays working) -- that there are too many user-interface conveniences (like KDE and ilk) that get their oars in and confuse things. but I really really don't know. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
