Don't forget about "ubuntu-bug audio", which is trying to do just that,
i e check for common errors and inform the user about how to correct
them. In addition, if it does not find a common error, it allows the
user to file a bug accordingly.

It only does volume checks and some Pulseaudio-default-sink checks at
the moment, but I would like to enhance it as we figure out more common
errors (and I - or somebody else - has the time).
