I don't think saying anything will help. I know that there are some hard
feelings about the rate that ALSA gets pushed into the repos, but keep
in mind that 1.0.17 was released when we were affected. While it's true
that subsequent upgrades of ALSA usually make the entire world better,
I'm sure there are a plethora of other bugs that will be caused by
1.0.20, and most of them will have to be resolved before it's pushed
into the main repos. That's one of the disadvantages of Ubuntu: it has
to cater to the largest base of all distros, and so you can both be left
waiting or left behind.

It might also be an issue of time; I urge anyone and everyone interested
in keeping the Ubuntu repos up-to-date to look into becoming a MOTU
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU), so that others might be able to spend
more time on Jaunty-main.

That said, I can all but guarantee that it'll be hitting the karmic-
proposed repo (it might be too late to make the freeze, but given that
it's only late May, I doubt it). It'll make Jaunty, eventually, but
we're still at 1.0.18 right now.

In summary, progress will come, just slowly. The important thing is that
we have a fix.
