Sound support for Titanium 550 (the same as mine) 
is quite good on YD2.2

You must set the sound server in KDE for 8 bits,
after that sound should work fine on KDE, Gnome,
Enlightenment (I strongly suggest you to try
Enlightenment, the very best interface for
Linux, in my opinion, it really looks great).

All sound and light control keyboard buttons 
work fine (actually their visual is much better 
than on MacOS X).

On the X front, how is it going? I am running
the framebuffer driver here, with 16 bits.
This is fine, but makes it even more problematic
to transfer the image to an external projector...

Could someone inform if this also 
happens when going from 2.2 to 2.3?
