I completely agree, but I just bought a CM108 USB sound card from NewEgg. Its $19 and I've probably spent a lot more time trying to get an Intel HDA working. Why is there a need to keep a bunch of different drivers under the same package? The Linux drivers do not have a history of attempting to emulate windows drivers and their names. Why start now? Create serperate drivers that target device id groups. I'm not a developer on the ALSA group, but I've had to deal with attempting to get now two Intel HDA devices to work, it is REALLY frustrating.
