[Fwd: Archive frozen for preparation of Ubuntu 9.10]

[Aviss,Tyler]

Pulse seems to be mainly intended to allow mixing multiple sources  
without blocking, but I've found that this works even with just plain  
ALSA on most cards nowadays.

However if OSS4 can get the mic input to work on my "HD Audio" based  
laptop chipset I will gladly switch. While I do understand that there  
are many variants on these chipsets having it broken for so long is a  
real setback for Linux on the desktop (IMHO).
