2006-06-04 15:41:57 Sven Herzberg gstreamer0.10: severity Normal Major
2006-06-04 15:41:57 Sven Herzberg gstreamer0.10: statusexplanation Changing to major as this makes listening music not really user friendly.

2006-06-17 19:03:33 Daniel T Chen alsa-lib: statusexplanation reassigning to alsa, gst doesn't decide of the devices order (Dropping Importance. Sorry, but a usability bug, while extremely annoying, does not constitute an Importance of the extremity of a system crash.) If System> Preferences> Sound> Default sound card's drop-down menu is not working properly, that's a bug in the gnome-control-center source package. alsa-utils in Dapper includes the asoundconf(1) utility that gnome-control-center's Sound applet invokes to perform the background task. If you find using asoundconf(1) [see the set-default-card convenience macro] remains utterly ineffectual, then you can forcibly set one driver to /not/ be the default (i.e., not grab index 0). Let's take the example of my computer, which uses the snd_intel8x0 and snd_usb_audio drivers. (While asoundconf(1) works for me, for the purposes of this illustration I'll pretend it doesn't work.) Let's say that I really want my onboard sound chipset to be the secondary instead of the primary, since my M-Audio Transit USB is a "much better"/preferable device. In this case I would issue the following command: $ echo "options snd_intel8x0 index=-2" |sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base The above command effectively forces the snd_intel8x0 driver to not grab the first available index in the presence of other drivers. So -- what info is needed for you guys? Please /attach/ (don't comment inline) the output from ``lspci -v && cat /proc/asound/cards''. Also indicate which of the cards you wish to use as the primary one and whether asoundconf(1) [with the convenience macro mentioned above] works when you invoke it by hand and restart ALSA apps (this does not affect OSS emulation).

Fixed in Edgy. (Note this change makes people who want to use usb audio devices by default as card 0 unhappy.)
