I felt the same way this morning. My workmate had a nice Logitec USB headphone-microphone combination, which worked fine on his Mac. I felt like having a bit of a hardware argument so I plugged it into my Linux box: it was detected automatically, the system offered to open the audio configuration dialog, and the device had a sane name. The only thing I had to do was restart esd, and that barely counts as a hardware fight — more of a hardware-slap. Stupid fancy new operating systems…
