That is excellent news. Thank you to all the people who have been
working on this!

I see the sense in what Conn suggests about testing in Intrepid and
backporting to Hardy at a later date. However I am concerned about how
much time this is likely to take. The web browser is the single most
important desktop application, the one that everyone uses even if they
use nothing else. At the moment a huge amount of web content is off
limits to firefox. This is a very serious breakage that patently merits
some fairly radical tinkering if that is what it takes to fix it, and
that merits it in a real hurry. At the moment I am finding that I have
to open Opera whenever I want to view pages with flash content. How long
is Jo/e User going to put up with having to do something like that
before s/he reinstalls Windows?

Or to put it another way, how serious is the risk of breaking hardy
through a poorly implemented upgrade of libasound compared to the
undeniable fact that the web browser is already crippled?
