What do you want us to do if we come > across a pulseaudio bug? Report it via BZ or PA BTS! (Exactly like you did) I ask everyone to be patient, though. I do fix look at those bug reports and fix them, but only shortly before the next release. The point of my mail is just that statistics about the "buggyness" of software based on bugzilla data is bogus. > For example, when pulseaudio is running as a system-wide daemon, any > games using Alsa start to stutter after a few minutes.
