I know this -may- be treading on sacred ground, but is there any way for
SDL to probe the -software- drivers first before trying hardware? I've
got multiple (3 actually) soundcards but only the first is hooked up to
speakers... and under KDE/X, artsd is almost -always- active. Now I
know I could disable artsd before running an SDL app, but that strikes me
as a waste of time due to theoretically SDL supporting it...
I know driver conf/driver load order is a "2.0" issue but still, checking
software drivers under -unix- first does seem useful...
(and falling back to the perfectly valid OSS/Alsa drivers afterward of
course... :)
G'day, eh? :)

PS: environment variable fixes for this seem rather... shallow... as I
suspect this problem will show up on any system running KDE with 2 or more
soundcards :)
