I doubt that for those of us who have more than one sound facility in our 
hardware.  Alsa works fine, with PA disabled/nuked.

It (PA) might well work, _IF_ PA paid any attention to the assignments I made 
long ago in my modprobe.conf that make alsa work flawlessly.  But it doesn't.  
Until it honors those assignments, it will continue to be disabled on this 
system.  I can, in pavucontrol, select the emu10k1 stuff, but the audio 
doesn't get there unless you count the sideband splatter 80 db down.

With it disabled, here is my /proc/asound/cards:

 0 [Audigy2        ]: Audigy2 - SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400]
                      SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] (rev.0, serial:0x10011102) at 
0x9c00, irq 17
 1 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
                      HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfddfc000 irq 16
 2 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfe020000 irq 20

Plz note that the index=1 entry above is not even bonded out on my video card, 
an ATI HD2400 Pro.  Also note that the 1 and 2 (index numbers) above appear to 
be identical, and no one seems to know how I could forcibly switch them and 
actually make the ASUS motherboards audio available for use.  I do have 
another amp/speaker set I could plug into the mobo, if it was usable, or maybe 
use it for an internet telephone?

Thanks for letting me butt in.
