No not really. Quite frankly I don't really care if it is there or not.
Someone else offered it as a solution that seemed to have worked for
him. My problem started when I did a clean install of 10.04. The
internal Jack of my computer did not work anymore. It used to work (on
one leg) in 9.10 but I could at least connect my external speakers and
listen to my music. Today that is not the case anymore. I did an upgrade
of alsa because 10.0.4 comes with 1.0.21. So I upgraded to 1.0.23. Then,
all my problems started: Intermittent freeze on my unit. Internal jack
still not working. I reverted back too Alsa 1.0.22: I did not have the
freeze anymore but the internal jack was still screwed. 
Quite frankly, I have exhausted all solutions. Many people have removed
the pulse audio from their machine to try to sort out their sound issue.
Last time I did this, I  had to reinstall my system.

Kind Regards,
