But, that would still be GTK specific - you've just moved the problem to

a case of developer laziness...

if it really
is Gnome dependent, I insist in my thesis that
configuration tools should be distro and desktop independent
im willing to guess these days more (especially new) users on a % basis have gnome-libs
installed than the ncurses that alsaconf uses..
maybe alsa could provide some kind of uniform device-selection widget for GTK, so that
there isnt a different one with different features in each app..i mean 2/3rs of them still
have a txt entry box and expect you to know what hw:0,1,0 is.. something with a
'select for this app' and 'set as default' maybe.. i would say 'like
how printing works'. but dont get me started on
cups/foomatic/hpiod/samba/lib(gnome/kde)print etc..
