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. -- SigmaTel STAC9205: Headphone Jack Not Working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306755 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
