[olug] sound?

[Noel Leistad]

Mixer levels all sources at 100%. Works FINE in MythTV, the
system-config-soundcard works as well. I don't have pulse installed, but
could try. Suppose it'll get no worse...the alternative has been KVM
switch to a Windows box for audio. How degrading; and how lazy.

Education is no substitute for intelligence.  That elusive quality is defined 
only in part by puzzle-solving ability.  It is in the creation of new puzzles 
reflecting what your senses report that you round out the definition.
