           Summary: "Removed Sound Devices" popup appearing on a multi
                    computer setup
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: pkern at debian.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When switching computers in a /home on NFS setup I get a very annoying popup
from KDE4 telling me that some audio devices disappeared.  As this is a
heterogeneous environment hardware-wise this is to be expected, as sound cards
differ.  Of course I could say "Do not ask again for these devices" each and
every time until I hit all the available sound cards.  However what I really
need is a way to just set a default as administrator (i.e. keeping all the
mixer settings until the user comes back to the specific machine).  Not only
there are multiple computers, but there are also many users, all faced with
this popup on login and confused what they should do.

How to Reproduce: Log into a machine at the console which shares the home
directory with other machines which are not identical, then log off and
re-login at one of the other machines.

Expected Behaviour: Provide a way to set a global system default for
disappearing sound devices.
