Re: Fedora system-config-soundcard generating broken configs?

[Martin Stransky <stransky@redhat.com>]

The formulation in system-config-soudcard ("Disable sw mixing") isn't 
absolutely clear but I can't find a better one, any suggestions are 
welcome. The default /etc/asound.conf in Fedora is:

defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 0
