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.
