I wasn't actually asking a question.
I was - as the title of the article made clear - ranting.
If you don't like rants, I suggest you don't read articles
with the word "rant" in them.

My hope would be that someone concerned with the sound wizards -
as I said, I am not sure of the relative responsibility
of Linux, KDE and Fedora -
might think to themselves,
"Is it really so difficult to configure sound under Fedora/KDE/Linux ?".
