I don't think we want to do this, to be honest. The idea for a while has been to just delete that tab entirely and have the driver detected at runtime automatically. An attempt was made before but Alexandre wasn't happy with it. That's what we need to do, rather ask the user questions they shouldn't need to care about.
That would be great. But right now we have an autodetect button that will return the first working driver it encounters and then quits even when there are multiple available. And the first in the list would be aRts for most systems. Not really the preferred one.
Would it be better to add some info to the audio drivers available in that dialog. Like "Preferred" or "Works best" for example?
