Ubuntu doesn't get it

,----[ Quote ]
| So in the past Ubuntu packaged PA in a way 
| that, let's say, was not exactly optimal. I 
| thought they'd gotten around fixing things 
| since then. Turns out they didn't. Seems in 
| their upcoming release they again did some 
| genius thing to make PA on Ubuntu perform worse 
| than it could. The Ubuntu kernel contains all 
| kind of closed-source and other crap to no 
| limits, but backporting a tiny patch that is 
| blessed and merged upstream and in Fedora for 
| ages, that they won't do. Gah.

Works fine for me in Mandriva.

| Thanks to PulseAudio, the Linux audio experience will
| become more context-aware. For example, if a video is
| running in one application the system should
| automatically reduce the volume of everything else
| and increase it when the video is finished.
