Linus Torvalds has released version 2.6.25 of the Linux kernel. "It's been long promised, but there it is now. Special thanks to Ingo who found and fixed a nasty-looking regression that turned out to not be a regression at all, but an old bug that just had not been triggering as reliably before."

Erhm, no.
If your soundcard is not working, then in ~99% of the cases, its because the user simply has not unmuted it and turned volume up.
in the last 1% of the cases, problems can be various things, but to assume that even 50% of those things are kernel related would be wrong, given that lots of configuration happens with alsa in userspace..
I'd go so far as to say that only 0.25% of all sound related issues are due to kernel space..
i'd also go as far as to say, that of all the PC's in the world today, which are not broken(not counting OS here), linux will work with _ALOT_ more of them, and directly out of the box, than is even possible to get working with XP. And if we count in vista aswell, well, thats not really much of a fight, now is it?
(yes, i have personally seen MANY older computers which has integrated audio that does not work for 2k/xp, only 98)
and then ofcourse also comes all the pieces of embedded devices out there.. ooh, i think winblows, in any version, is pretty much beaten.
