the tool(s) would need to:
- detect all runnable sound drivers
- let the user pick the one(s) he/she wants to run. it would have to 
detect that a wineoss and winealsa would in fact output to the same 
physical Linux device, so there's no need to install both of them. 
Things are a bit more complicated for aRts vs OSS for example where you 
get audio mixing/sharing with aRts and better RT capabilities (esp. for 
games) with OSS.
- let also the user decides of the default driver (the one the mapper 
will open by default)
- when this is decided, the registry should be populated accordingly

but, this should also be part of a more generic user oriented 
configuration program, going much further than the pure audio driver 
configuration

A+
