Sounds good to me. With 2 soundcards, I want to default to the USB one,
as soon as it's plugged in, not when i drop to root and run system-
config-soundcard with all it's UI goodness.

This sounds fantastic. Bringing Linux into the modern age!

Are you pending a CVS commit for soundcards or do you want us to submit
patches?

On that note, could you just mail the updated ChangeLog to this list,
whenever you do a big commit, then we can see what you've committed
without doing a:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/hal co hal
type thing? Or am I missing a cunning trick?

Richard.
