ok, will do. We have been a bit busy this week since it was decided to 
drop the support for F10 a week early, but the heat is off now as we are 
all updated.

By the way, in kde how is one supposed to choose the right pulseaudio 
profile for a sound card without using pavucontrol or gnome-volume-control?
