I was talking about the people that contribute to the rant in general, like many of the /. commenters! However, I still believe that it is the right way to distribute an important new technology at an early stage, at least for desktop users. I simply believe in "release early, release often". The problem with Ubuntu is that they are not willing to constantly provide new (and improved) versions of PA because of their release philosophy and this was especially bad in case of the LTS version. A simple function to disable PA and reset everything to ALSA would have been a good idea. But, as long as this users provide valuable feedback and the devs are listening to them, we all will profit in the long run.<br> <br>BTW: I'm curious how the transition from hal to device-kit will evolve. I had a lot more problems because of that in the karmic alpha and beta than I had with PA since I first used it...<br><br><br>Regards<br><br> JK <br></div></div>
