Yeah, this caused Lyani and I no end of trouble with US Immigration
officials, as she prefers the alternate spelling of her family name,
"Burdjeva", as opposed to the old-style Frenchy "Burdzheva". The
Bulgarian government now uses the former, but used to use the latter,
so her old passport said "Burdzheva" and now the new one says
"Burdjeva-Glover".

What does her green card say? Well, I'll let you know in 3-6 months
(the minimum amount of time it takes for the US government to mail you
important documents).

Yeah, I just linked to that page because it demonstrated that `Mic As
Center/LFE' is a control that can be manipulated with amixer from the
command line, which was not clear from Mauro's original email.

And because I was amused that the Bulgarian LUG was the first practical hit. :)
