I find it hard to believe that there is not one single app in the distro
that respects the default sound card setting.  If so this is a grave
bug.

The default soundcard setting is only honored by apps that use the ALSA
API.  If there are any apps shipping that default to OSS it's a serious
bug.

Um, I don't know what you are taking about, this is the first time I
have ever recommended you to file bug reports.

If you're going to complain but won't even bother to file bug reports
you are just a troll.
