But you are trying to push something out of the distro, with no
replacement. That's not very constructive.

It's partly true. Before PulseAudio, whose functionalities are for many
something of not use, we had a lot stabler audio system, especially on
GNOME. At least you didn't need to restart a daemon everytime you close
your browser with a flash animation to have audio controls working
again, or you could keep a player open (not playing, simply open in
pause) when someone called you on Skype. Currently this is not possible
anymore. Skype is trying to implement PulseAudio support, but they are
having problems (PA crashes).

Providing summaries of
problems from these reports to bugzilla would be constructive, and allow
those problems to get fixed.

Well, asking this is quite irrealistic. How could I answer to your
questions about the report not having the hardware in my hand, for
example? The best I can do is to report there are certain problems.
Reproducing them and reporting bugs would require to a three level
interaction (you <-> me <-> users), which is frankly not feasible. We
haven't infinite time.

A.
