"For the last 12 months, I have used Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04 as my primary OSes. I remain a very happy Linux convert, but I worry that Ubuntu is being unevenly developed. Certain areas have seen great improvements over the last 12 months, while other areas have languished or been largely ignored. The purpose of this article is not to whine or rant, but to bring some perspective to the evolution (or lack thereof) that Ubuntu has experienced between versions 8.04 and 9.04."

On 9.04, I have to use a script every time I the kernel is upgraded to download and install a newer version of Alsa, which still is not in the repositories, and neither is the new one.
On almost every system I have had, I've had problems with audio on Linux.
ALSA needs work, or more help. Something must be done!
Pulse should have never been started.
Gstreamer, I can never get Gnome's default audio player to do anything. What a waste of time Gstreamer was.
Linux should have gone with JACK audio server, and perhaps if it weren't problems with the experiencing, perhaps OSS underneath.
