Excuse all of us who don't feel that "If your sound card doesn't work 
out of the box, file a bug report" isn't an explanation of the technical 
issues (and seems to assume a single sound card, as well). And 
"system-config-soundcard isn't your answer anyway. If you have to 
manually configure your soundcard for any program intended for desktop 
usage, that is just broken" sounds like an opinion rather than an 
explanation.

Neither of your first two posts seem to show ANY reason why 
system-config-soundcard was inadequate for the purpose. Maybe I'm 
missing the part where you tell people what was wrong with the way we 
have been doing it. And "we like something else better" is not a 
technical reason, since dropping a tool which people know how to use and 
making the default configuration choose different configurations just 
invites people to feel as if their time is being wasted.
