This is correct, and the author happens to be me, what A DEAL :)
Please notice, before you react on the worthful tip from Manoj, that you
have to setup your soundcard before (or at the same time) you configure

If you have further questions, *feel free to ask*.
As long as I'm subscribed a list, no newbie was ever flamed.
Thank you,
