Of course, however the real mess is between esd, OSS, ALSA, ArTS,
Pulseaudio, Jack, ...

The real question is how does someone who doesn't care a rat's ass how
the sound system operates but just wants to play music and videos, use
Skype or Ekiga, and get his system alerts, know how to configure these
or choose between them, especially as a typical system has several of
them and they don't all play nicely together?
