Good idea; these packages have exactly the same purpose. > Any words of ... warnings I wonder what you're going to do about the multisound firmware files; the /lib/firmware/turtlebeach/*.bin files are just symbolic links to the actual files in /etc/sound that owners of these cards (if any such still exist) are supposed to have.
