- Multiple soundcards: either at install time (configurator finds more
than one supported card and user gets to choose), or afterwards when the
user installs an additional card. 

- Usb soundcards: sort of same as before, hotplug would take care of
that I guess, but I think there has to be an entry in modules.conf for
snd-usb-audio (automatic entry? user chooses?, I don't know).
