To make sure this doesn't seem like a argument, I understand there may
be use for the soundcard. I was responding to the alsa or oss part by
pointing out that a fairly large portion of this group has moved beyond
the soundcard to other phone equipment.  This is only of use when taken
in context to why no one has started answering the message. Many of us
don't use it, therefore the knowledge pool to answer the question is a
bit lower.
