[mdlug] getting sound to work besides aplay *.wav

 Because it's redundant now that he's got another, better sound card?

 This ties back into the Linux sound handling that I mentioned before.
It's not hard - for any *particular* sound API - to direct sound to a
particular card. Getting *all* the various sound APIs to agree on that
routing is much harder. If he's not doing things that need multiple
sound cards, then disabling the unused hardware prevents such conflicts,
like disabling onboard video if there's no monitor connected to it
helps.

 Sincerely,

 "In an illustrative recent study, subjects were asked their opinion
about
  a social welfare policy, which was described as being endorsed either
by
   Democrats or by Republicans. Although the subjects sincerely believed
   that their responses were based on the objective merits of the
policy,
   the major determinant of what they thought of the policy was in fact
  whether or not their favored political party was said to endorse it."
