Ah, "bug-free" software. I love the idea. Unfortunately there is no such thing. I am not sure what you want. Most of these bugs are either waiting for more feedback from the reporter, are wishlist bugs, are obsolete, or are merely kept around to track issues outside of PA (i.e. closed-source sw not working with our compat foo). Maybe you should actually have a look inside these reports before starting to complain? And even better, instead of complaining maybe you should just help me fix the remaining issues? It's Free Software, you know? I think you are victim of the misconception that PA itself is horrendously buggy. However, please keep in mind what we are doing here: we have added a completely new layer to our software stack and need to make sure that the vast number of audio applications which are already out there are adapted to work with this new layer. Those apps sometimes make assumptions about how sound hw works that can never be kept by PA, sometimes they violate the existing APIs and sometimes are closed source. Now put these things together with the large number of applications out there and maybe you get and idea why the way to kick-ass audio on Linux is as rocky as it is. Also, if you claim that I neglect longstanding important bugs, then please be more specific and tell me exactly the bug numbers.
