Thanks for the useful link, Anders. To my mind, we're not only facing a bug — it's a regression actually, and as such should be treated as very important. It's nice to be on the cutting edge of progress and use latest inventions like PulseAudio in our favoured distro (though my experience of PulseAudio doesn't let me call it a great and welcome invention), but actually breaking things that DID work otherwise is surely completely unacceptible.
