 esound (0.2.36-1ubuntu2) breezy; urgency=low
 .
   * audio_alsa09.c: Disable snd_pcm_drain() call for now since it sometimes
     triggers a race condition in the ALSA kernel driver which causes the
     esd process to hang. This is not a proper bug fix, but at least makes all
     those broken Colony installations out there work again. (Ubuntu #12276)

The workaround is uploaded, but it's not a final fix. Readjusting the bug
details for the real cause.
