Output should be autodetected, and capplets scrapped. ("Just work")

I think I've already given an example about why that doesn't work.

And I've already explained that a hidden configuration option was good
enough for those 1% that need to work around crappy drivers, or bugs in
the sound output plugins/frameworks.

I said it wasn't a driver issue or a bug in the sound output
plugins/frameworks. Its a simple case that my soundcard simply does not
handle certain (common) audio formats.

So that's either a bug in the driver, that doesn't advertise correctly
which formats are supported, or in the framework for not testing
properly if these formats are supported.

Other reasons why a capplet might be useful, given a system with OSS,
Alsa, ARTS, ESD, MAS installed, how does one automagically decide which
to use?

That's another discussion altogether... On a GNOME/Linux platform, it
would properly test for the presence and current use of the sound
servers, then ALSA, then OSS.

xine plugins use "priorities" for that.
