Sorry, turns out my onboard is an ALC888 that was misidentified with
prior ALSA tools. My sound card now works in Karmic, but I think
there is still progress to be made on selecting audio paths. This is
well out of scope for this bug issue, but I'll throw it out there
anyways. As long as all you're dpoing is hooking speakers up to a
system directly, it's all well and good. these days though, a lot of
people are routing their audio through their HDMI ports to the TV set.

I think it should be significantly easier to do this than editing
various files. I'll send an email in about 11 hours with details on
what I edit to make it work.. Once the edits are done though, then I
can select the proper stuff in the pulse GUI tools.

Like everything else though, it _does_ work so I don't expect a change
any time soon. Maybe I'll write something for it when I'm on vacation
next year.
