5. no GUI to change sound card settings a.k.a. draksound is too basic


Do you mean the settings that are necessary to be changed for older ISA
sound cards? PCI cards don't have those settings. If they're looking
for the mixer settings, then they need to run aumix or kmix. If you're
looking for just a button to fire up aumix/kmix, that might be
reasonable.

If I can just jump in on this, there is certainly a big hole when it comes to trying to configure an ISA sound chip. I have been unable to properly configure my ALS 120 chip since 7.2 and the 2.2 kernel. Plain old audio has worked with fits and starts and midi has NEVER worked right since then. The Red Hat sndconfig program no longer even attempts to configure midi, which makes stellar apps like Rosegarden next to useless for me. I am hoping for some miracle with the 2.6 kernel.
