Cool. How do I go about figuring out what every app uses? For example, 
you mentioned that the flash 9 plugin, which I also use, is an ALSA 
aware application. How do you know? I need the check out everything that 
I use which needs sound (vmware, skype, kmplayer, etc.) I don't have 
source code for at least two of those.

Thanks,
