I listen to audio all the time and noticed it right away on two
machines. I've filed a Bugzilla:


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174194

           Summary: Default sound device is not being correctly
specified in
                    alsa config files
           Product: Fedora Core
           Version: devel
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: normal
         Component: alsa-lib
        AssignedTo: stransky at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: janina at rednote.net


Description of problem:
A command like "aplay [file.wav]" breaks as noted below. On the other
hand commands like "aplay -D hw:0,0 [file.wav]" or "aplay -D plughw:0,0
[file.wav]" work
+perfectly well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):1.0.10rf-1


How reproducible:Fails every time on two machines tried so far, whereas
the -D-D specificity noted always works.
