When setting up the soundcard, ensure the volume is at 100% before playing an audio sample. Otherwise it's hard to hear who that is, and how he pronounces Linux. :)
Agreed, this is a blocker bug. ;o)
Ok. I'm passing "-v 3" to /usr/bin/play so it ups the volume. Rock on. ;) fixed in redhat-config-soundcard-0.9.6-4
Fix confirmed with redhat-config-soundcard-0.9.6-4.
