The part with default mic will remain unchanged as that's not part of
the cubeb library. As for virtual_oss, I wrote the patch which is in
latest version and it adds rc.d file so configuring it should be easier.
The default settings are well commented, but in case you need help, feel
free to ping me.

Good point.

The message is not yet changed, but it is planned. The reason it is not
changed is that I believe khng300 and I share oppinion that code needs
to be done first, once that's OK, message will be updated.
