First after enough software boots to do it, a sound card quantity test is done. If the number is more than 1, a dialog comes up where a user gets told all sound cards are being tested and when the user hears a beep on the desired sound card they have 10 seconds to hit a key to select that card. If no choice is made, then the first available sound card gets used by default. What I need to do with talkingarch is to test this with a very good pair of usb speakers I have and install talkingarch that way and then see if udev overrides my choice on first boot after that.
