Well, I think in most cases people do have only one machine at home.
This machine is used for everyything (Work, games, ...).
I think this configuration is a typical one:
IRQ 3 - COM2 - modem
IRQ 4 - COM1 - mouse or something else
IRQ 5 - Soundblaster
IRQ 7 - LPT1: - printer
IRQ 9 - Teles 16 Bit ISDN card
IRQ 10 - Network Card <- cheapo 10 MBit ISA
IRQ 11 - free for PCI
IRQ 12 - PS/2 mouse
IRQ 14 - free for PCI
IRQ 15 - IDE crap
