That includes all volume controls still working, non-existing ports should not show up, etc. 3) Bug free in other ways too ;-) 4) And do this within a kernel cycle, i e, without a few broken kernels (e g Realtek multi-IO implementation caused some regressions in 3.2 and 3.3) ...then I think you should go for it. But I would still see it as high risk. Maybe I should help testing somehow? Then if PulseAudio doesn't support doing the retasking by default, then that's just something we have to work with in PulseAudio later on. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic
