Those are the different ones of course.
For me the dependancy issue is a primary
problem of course, so the other one I
simply ducked.

OK, good to know this. :)

Yes, making them to play well together is
something to think about too. But I don't
see how it can affect the distributors.
If the distro doesn't have the sound enabled,
then it won't enable snd-pcsp no matter
what. If it does have the sound enabled,
then why would it ever want to use pcspkr
instead of snd-pcsp?
I see this issue mostly as a theoretical
one. If you see the real problems with
the current situation, please let me know.
