If you had heard of File Heirarchy Structure (FCS), all devices that 
represent permenant media, should be located in the /media directory. 
/mount is for temporary non-media devices, such as tape drives, which 
was its original purpose. I expect the /mount directory to disappear as 
few folks now use tape drives in SOHO systems, but rather use either USB 
flash drives, a CD-R(W) drive, or a second (third, fourth) hard drive.

Sound definately needs to be fixed in Fedora.
