It would help tremendously if the Ubuntu people could push these
upstream.  Bugs that end up in the ALSA bug tracker do get addressed.
Sometimes I think that the distro people assume that ALSA developers
must know about all these issues, which is impossible because of the
amount of hardware out there.
