Well, thank you, but it does appear a bit basic. Most apps come with
documentation but some things really do need explaining - like sound.
The Fedora desktop menus provide a volume control for ALSA (and OSS) and
another one for PA. There is also a Sound Preferences window, the first
tab of which bears little resemblance to what is described in the help
file. Some of this stuff one can figure out by trial and error and
playback seems to work reliably but recording is a different matter.
Thanks for the feedback. As it happens, we are working on finishing
the Fedora 9 User Guide before the year's end, and there is still time
to add features such as explaining sound controls.
This is a great opportunity for someone who understands this to help
contribute to the User Guide. You can join us during the holiday
virtual hackfest ...

... and/or take a chapter to work on directly on your own time ...

If you haven't joined the Docs project, just send a self-introduction
and let us know what you want to work on ...
