The "Trident TRID4DWAVENX" is not a common sound adapter. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander - if our objection to hardware channel access is 'it's insane on a few configurations', then 'it totally breaks what people are trying to do with their sound card on a few configurations' is a valid objection to the new system. If that's not the objection, stop shopping that screenshot around everywhere. =) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
