Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libasound2

After updating the libasound2 (I guess...) I get the following message:

---
Refresh Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) configuration presets

New Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) configuration presets have been 
added.  Please execute the asoundconf(1) set-default-card macro in a Terminal 
now to refresh your user's configuration presets.
---

At the very least, the message should include detailed instructions that
can be cut and pasted. Better would be to include a way to start a
graphical utility to change the setting, right from the message display.

Also the system should automatically set an appropriate default. At my
system, the choice was between a serial MIDI device and a soundcard.
Guess which one I'd like to use to play sounds. Hint: I don't even have
a serial MIDI device, just a serial port.
