The /etc/soundconf file is not used if you are configuring with Menuconfig
which uses Hannus linux compatible sound configuration by default.
I would of course like to see the old sound configuration program phased
out. My discussions with Hannu lead me to believe he feels this way as
well. Hannu is the person who asked me to make Menuconfig automatically
use the new kernel compatible config scheme.
Keeping and/or supporting the old configuration program just perpetuates
the differences that have made it difficult to integrate sound
configuration into alternative configuration scripts.
There are a few cards with minor differences which make it necessary to
use the old sound configuration program and /etc/soundconf file. With
time, we hope to code these difference into the other configure scripts.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to have Menuconfig write the /etc/soundconf
file. I will give this some thought.
PS. Hanu, I apologize if I have misspoke any of your opinions.
