My personal opinion is that it's more a problem of too many applicaions which 
fight for sounds. The pamixer, the alsamixer, the advanced mixer, some config 
files to edit, etc. And on some hardware (that which developers have) sound will 
work out of the box, similar setups will often work, but on some systems, I'm 
guessing 15% from what I've seen, serious fiddling is needed. And even on system 
where sound "works" it often isn't as loud as it was on earlier releases.
