I do not think this has been adequately resolved. I just received this
message after upgrading to Intrepid:

Refresh Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) configuration presets

New Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) configuration presets have
been added.  Please execute the asoundconf(1) set-default-card macro in
a Terminal now to refresh your user's configuration presets.  You may
accomplish this task by executing the following command in a Terminal:
asoundconf set-default-card

Now, first of all, a package should not have to tell the user to run a
random terminal command as part of a software upgrade. There should be
some way to do this automatically. However, I duly run this command but
to my surprise I got the following error:

$ asoundconf set-default-card
You have omitted a necessary parameter.  Please see the output from `asoundconf 
list`, and use one of those sound card(s) as the parameter.

$

Even if it is poor form to require the user to run a terminal command,
it is purely unacceptable for the user to _also_ have to read (and
understand) a manual page. This is something that needs to be fixed.
