Well, my reading of the situation is different. Neither will I be

for too long, nor is the amount of bugs actually that bad. If you
look
closely a non-trivial number have needinfo set, waiting for the
posters
to report back. Substantial amount are duplicate abrt backtraces.
There
are some feature requests. A number of bugs cover stuff like HDMI
and auxiliary PA modules which are optional features, which are not
entirely supported on the low-levels or upstream, and hence I don't
think need to be fixed with high-priority. Finally a substantial
chunk
is mixer initialization problems, which are kinda time-intensive to
process, because you need the help of the user to run "alsamixer -c0"
and figure out what's actually going on, you need to ask him to play
around with "model=xxx" as param to the HDA module. And usually that
involves quite a bit of forth and back. And furthermore almost always
these actually are issues that need to be fixed in ALSA, not
PA, though I never bothered to reassign them because one needs to
verify
this first. (i.e. either in the HDA driver by adding new quirks or by
updating
the mixer init db). Also, these kind of "simple" driver bugs tend to
fix
themselves alone, because alsa is updated all the time, and the other
distros work on this too. So a number of these could probably be
closed
right-away because a newer ALSA already contains the quirk.
So, well, I don't think things are really that bad.
Reminds me of a quote in a book I know.
He is like the farmer who came up out of his cyclone cellar to find his home ruined. To
his wife, he remarked, "Don't see anything the matter here, Ma. Ain't it
grand the wind stopped blowin'?"
I'm just saying.
