Greetings fellow developers!

I'm working on configuring a USB sound device, and running into the occasional difficulty. During these times of duress, I turn to the web to look for documentation on the specific facet that I'm struggling with at the moment. Without fail, I'll come across some feature of the config files that I didn't previously know of.

My question is this. Does there exist a comprehensive compendium of config file settings, and options that I can peruse?

My current config is a hacked together menagerie of bit and pieces gleaned from many internet sources. I'd like to do it *RIGHT*.

Thanks!
