Back when this audio issue was last discussed here, I whined about Gnome's "thou shalt not have more than one sound card".
Well, lo and behold, at least on Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10), you can have separate inputs and outputs for music, video, chat, and system events. All configured from a nice GUI that recognizes my sound cards. *And* it lets you hook the system volume to multiple controls (on M-Audio you need one per channel).
I hook my good speakers to M-Audio, system sounds to the monitor speakers, headset to its own in/output. Perfect.
And setting "pipeline = musicaudiosink" in Quod Libet works!
Whoever fixed this, thank you!
Now, I'm going to install ubuntustudio and we'll see how happy I am next week.

Don't forget the commercially supported variant of Debian for audio work called 64studio.
It's commercially supported Free software. No proprietary 'value-added' items with that and they provide no-cost iso image downloads.
