This is the level I > want to reach (okay, with I dream of). So your parents need bleeding-edge ALSA sound capabilities? My parents didn't even notice when I broke sound on their machine and I still haven't got around to fixing it... I intentionally don't let my parents install anything on their machine. When they need something installed I'll install it for them.
