Comment 201 for bug 318942

Excellent stuff... I assume we will see this fix in Karmic?

Was this a particularly sticky problem to solve correctly... I'm sure it would help a lot of people to understand the process and how bugs like this in both LTS and non-LTS releases are handled.

Clearly this was in the non-LTS release, but for a bug posted before the 9.04 release it does seem to have taken an extremely long time to resolve. many people have workarounds in place for 4 or 5 months, and certainly if I did not want to test the fix, I would be waiting for Karmic rather than try to back out those workarounds, or re-install.

I'm really not trying to criticize here although it does sound like it I know... I appreciate that there's a lot of upstream projects and other teams which need to be involved in this fix, and it needs to be done properly rather than just lashed up... especially given the sound problems which have been surfacing with pulse (Not that I think pulse is bad, it's potentially great)...

I just think that this could do with a bit of a post-mortem after 5 months and 200 comments so that people can understand what the issues were.
