What you need to understand that as long as you dont pay my salary its not you who decides on my priorities. And as long as you dont you need to understand that some user requests which appear sensible, useful and feasible to me are higher on my list than others. Furthermore sometimes we have to make choices and implementing one thing immediately makes it impossible implementing other things. And that also means that some user requests we cannot fulfill regardless how we priorize things. Now, we have thought about this, and in the desktop group at RH we came to the decision that audio cards are inherently a per-seat resource and should not be shared, but stay exclusively with the session that is active on it. And we then implemented that. And the vast majority of other folks agreed with our decision and all relevant distributions adopted our implementation. Furthermore all major non-Unix OSes handle things the same way. Now, there are always people who disagree with our choices. For example, you seem to disagree with ours regarding multi-user support for audio. You are entitled to that. But please, stop complaining about this, and accept that you will not get your way. We gave you good reasons why we did what we did and why we wont fulfill your requests. You seem to think they are not good. You are entitled to think that, but please accept that this does not change anything for us. So please, let it rest, and know that if you want to set the rules then you need to contribute something substantial and more than just some FUD on a mailing list. And that repeating the same over and over does NOT HELP and just annoys everyone else.
