Well, I really do not want to flame anyone, but please consider that
the guy proposing the change already gave us pulseaudio, which promised the
"it will do anything you do now, just easier" feature too.
Ah, turning this into something personal. Love you too.
We then discovered that some _trivial_ things where lost:
- having multiple independent sound cards
- having control of the mixer
- having sound with no user logged in
