    '90s not 90's

    The former Microsoft employee from the 90's is now an Ubuntu Xfce user.
    It is '90s, not 90's.

    Please read The Chicago Manual of Style, Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications or at least the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

      Yes I know, but when I'm writing 6+ articles per day and doing other work on top of that, such mistakes end up being inevitable from time to time.

        I don't think this was a "bug", so much as a new feature

        Although I'm not really sure what that code is used for. Can someone explain? Is it even in the kernel, or is just some debug lib shipped with the kernel?

          Valve's Linux efforts are the best thing to happen to desktop Linux for a long time.

              Damn right. Everything is slowly starting to come together and play nice on the graphics front: Wayland, Steam, Intel's open source driver efforts, etc. Now if only the audio side was as cooperative...

                Pulse is working beautifully -if you exclude professional audio. What are you on about?

                  ugh.. really? Pulseaudio :/ I hope nobody requires that useless abstraction layer.

                    It's not useless if you have bluetooth headsets, multiple outputs, jack or HDMI outputs, multichannel speakers... or need some handy features like application specific volumen controls, filters and equalizers or multiple simultaneous or fast output switching or networking or... essentially if you are not doing pro-audio or living in a stone age then you are probably better off with PulseAudio than dmix (ALSA).
