we have many of the same problems on the speech recognition side.  Linux audio 
in general and pulse audio in particular are atrocious.  Always have been, and I 
fear always will be.  in order to fix this problem, it will take money 
sufficient to build a complete audio system either on top of OSS4. ALSA or 
something new.  Until we have that money however, we are having to live on the 
kindness of strangers and accept whatever they give us.
