You could porbably put multimedia systems selector stuff as gconf
keys and enable it there.  The problem is that this stuff becomes
buried and for people who want to change it for whatever purpose
it becomes an egg hunt.

In these cases, it would be good to be able to find a way to get
access without too much trouble like a troubleshooter system that
tells you where to go if the default multimedia stuff doesn't work.
Taking a view of an undirected graph, all pieces of information
should connected.

My two cents.
