We also need more understandable device designations, imho. It's just not very consumer friendly as it stands. It's nice having the capibility to direct audio by application class, but I'd still like more control, myself. I'd like to be able to direct audio application byh application--I have four audio devices on one system and three on another--but I still have no finite control of what device my Orca plus Espeak will use. I make great use of these kinds of arguments in the cli, and I'm frustrated when apps (like timidity) don't support specific direction.
