So have .asoundrc as a link to say /etc/asoundrc, a common machine resource. ln -sf /etc/asoundrc .asoundrc will read a different version of asoundrc depending on the machine. Of course this implies that you want a common asoundrc, which might be bad on 10000 user system but is probbly pretty good on a single user system. > > The real answer here is that this should be a per-machine resource, not > a per-user (only) resource. > > b. > > -- William G.
