Hi Leigh,

oops - looks like I probably double posted - sorry about that.

Thinking about it, I think I would leave 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems in as I think it is what 
I would consider a "Major Page". It has several links which fall under 
our 18 month deadline. Just my thoughts.

Cheers,
Geoff.
