I added my soundcard use cases to the page. I posted them quite some
time ago, at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/utopia-list/2005-July/msg00001.html
And I believe they're pretty good starting points as well.

For use case 3, I guess that Ray's girlfriend shouldn't be able to
shutdown the computer, as Ray is busy downloading *cough*art-house
movies*cough*. Shouldn't it be only the "principal" user that should be
able to choose whether other users can shut down the computer?

And let's add http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBluetooth

I hope a lot of the Bluetooth SoC work will clear that up, although the
subject is so wide that one person is far from enough to take it on by
themselves...

Cheers
