But that's sound configuration -- I think we are talking about
a generic PnP utility to handle sound, modems, network cards etc.
I certainly was.

Last time I looked at sndconfig (a while back) it did not use
the new sound modules, but some Redhat-specific sound modularization
patches. Hence it did not work for me on my Debian system; otherwise
we would probably have a Debian package of it.
