Yes, but some package has to depend on it. Some package installed in the default desktop install. I think gnome-media is a good candidate; however it is not maintained by the GNOME team, CCing the maintainer. Davide, would you agree with making gnome-media depend on something like "alsa-base | kernel-image-2.4", to ensure sound is working properly upon installation? I know some people will say this can give stupid results when both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel images are installed. However, it allows things to work, with OSS when the 2.4 kernel is installed, and with ALSA if this is a 2.6 installation. There won't be any clean solution until hotplug implements a per-kernel blacklist. -- .''`.
