Re: [Sound] Where is the sound configuration stored?

[Steven Rubenstein <SJR@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I'm no expert, but until someone else has better answers...

1. Sight unseen, not sure your ALSA problem is caused by Red Hat's 
"automatic soundcard detection."  (If you care to elaborate, I'm all ears.)

2. Hoping not to offend your knowledge base,
- kudzu" is used for hardware detection, storing in/reading from 
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
- module info is stored in /etc/modules.conf.

3. 8.0 has a "Hardware Browser" (runs /usr/share/hwbrowser/hwbrowser). 
Don't remember if was in 7.3, but crashes on my system anyway.  Of 
course you can "look at" hardware info through Preferences -> 
Information (runs /usr/kcmshell).

4. More specifically, what sound card are you using?  At what step does 
the ALSA compile or install die?
