Seems to me that what could solve both the issue of consolidation and of

distribution-specific how-to. The end-users and/or project devs/contributors
could help generate the material
IMHO wikis are what got us into this mess - there's nothing to stop
users from posting wildly inaccurate information. So you end up with
dozens of users posting .asoundrcs that they don't understand, but
happened to solve (or hide) some problem for them.

Before anyone starts writing new documentation, what
is most desperately
needed is for someone to remove all the bad documentation out there (for
example most of the ALSA wiki dealing with .asoundrc files and dmix)
Yes, absolutely.
