Easy to resolve for those who know what they're doing. Now, picture the
newbie to Mandrake who got talked into it by one of us trying to figure out
why their sound just won't work after they did exactly what they were taught
and trusted only RPM's from Mandrake's update facilities. Unless this
problem is fixed by an official Mandrake RPM through the standard update
facility, we have failed the new users of the Linux community and yet again
shown it to be aimed at the technically elitist bunch.
