snd-usb-audio won't make anything appear in /dev/sound/dsp1. dsp* names
are for OSS only, (or OSS emulation), not for ALSA.

Well, I guess it is something related to your installation. Are other
people here using ALSA and having problems?

Then that's a bug, can others reproduce it? Because here, I can't.
If yes, then it is a bug. If not, then you will have to determine why it
happens on your system.

Yes that's a normal behavior. When switching to the audio devices page,
it resets the settings to the GConf defaults, because the user could
have changed the audio plugin. The problem is that the API doesn't give
a way to know if you are arriving at that page because you clicked
"Next" or "Back". So that's not a bug, but a feature.

the last thing is normal, but not the one before ;)
