It worked out of the box without even one mouse click to configure something related to sound... With 8.1, I had to correct some bugs, but I hope that would be corrected (see my previous message). My mdk 8.0 has been installed on 2 others computers, without ANY trouble related to multimedia (of course, NOTHING to do to setup sound, and only the channels to configure for the TV card. One of my friend told me how easier it has been to install mdk compared to MS Windows, on the same machine) And for realplayer, .... that kind of stuff is included in the powerpack. So I think the "mandrake de haute couture" is already out, it's called "mdk 8.xx Powerpack". But of course, multimedia in general has to be cleaned in the kernel, sound support would have to be cleaned, ... But this is more a devellopper's point of view, to prepare the future and make it easier to manage sound in a clean way, but not an end user's point of view (well, for people using multimedia for professional purpose, it could be different).
