How many people ever had more than one sound card in their computer, let alone a need to switch between them ?

Everyone with headphones or headsets using Bluetooth or USB.


I have some USB speakers I'm fond of, and PulseAudio was indeed the only way they ever worked right for me on Linux.


As CPU counts continue to rise and Flash support continues to get dropped from more pltforms, that comic will become more ironic.


I think I have four: Onboard audio, pcie sound card, usb microphone and hdmi audio on video card.
