It got removed in karmic. I saw the note in the karmic-devel list as it
was decided and thus asoundconf-gtk became broken. So, you'll have to
manually grab alsa-utils from a jaunty repo, open the file with
something like mc to extract the missing /usr/bin/asoundconf file and
install it. I did that and it worked. Then I got so fed up with karmic
breaking things I needed I re-installed back to jaunty. Now everything
works. Especially asoundconf-gtk which is one of the niftiest ways to
control my audio source I've seen. Nice and clean, no huge bells and
whistles. I like simple... Karmic ain't completely ready for prime time,
IMHO. Ric
