Michael,

You are a troll. And a disingenuous one at that because you want the 
benefits of Linux without contributing back.

You have the skills to evaluate sound on Linux (you worked for many 
years in telephony). You have the skills to fix/improve it (you have 
many years coding experience). You have the existing code (it's on 
the install CD or on the net). You have all the coding tools (they 
are on the install CD or on the net).

Linux is a co-operative effort by a world-wide group of programmers 
and users. We each use what is already there, improve it, and give 
our improvements back to the pool. You haven't done this. Instead you 
frequently whine about the state of audio support in Linux ALL THE 
WHILE BEING IN AN IDEAL POSITION TO FIX IT!

Time to put up or shut up my friend. Put your money where your mouth 
is.
