Thanks Dotan! I've been using asoundconf-gtk for a long time. Then I saw
mentioned on the devel-list that one file out of alsa-utils is no longer
being included. Which happened to wreck asoundconf-gtk. It's a perfect
teeny tiny little app that I could add to my toolbar and click to switch
sound sources smooth as pie. It worked. So, to get it back, I installed
the Intrepid version of alsa-utils and got it working again. Life was
good! now it's broken again and I'm just about out of steam on this
issue. I can't spend my life chasing this stuff down. 

If anyone has a copy of Caldera let me know. It was one of the happiest
times of my life when it all just worked. Sorry to DUMP but I'm just
weary. Ric
