You're confusing two separate causes (though I admit it's fairly easy to confuse the symptoms for people who aren't intimately familiar with the source code). Firstly, there're mid-layer changes in sound-2.6.git that help immensely with the stuttering. You can find the most important of those changes already applied in my test kernel (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/). I have also proposed those changes (see the kernel-team@ archive) for jaunty-proposed. Secondly, there're controller-level changes in sound-2.6.git that address polling and detection. Those changes have not been proposed for jaunty-proposed yet (but feel free to do so!). Thirdly, it's important to note that not all audio anomalies are resolved even with daily (un)stable snapshots of git HEAD for sound-2.6. The audio stack is evolving, and as various components shift around jaunty's frozen userspace (since people tend to want sound working and tend to compile random stuff), it's very much a moving target. Lastly, providing [frequently] updated alsa-kernel bits is difficult in a PPA, because several recent changes have bumped the symbol exports, which results in an ABI bump in the linux image. One essentially ends up needing to rebuild the linux image, provide new headers, and provide a new restricted-modules image. We went through a lot of pain during hardy when we shipped ALSA in linux-ubuntu-modules. I will, however, look into providing snapshots compiled against jaunty-updates/jaunty-security and jaunty-proposed. -- New upstream release alsa 1.0.19 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
