I really feel you, however the Linux world is not that simple, Even if you
are the only person having experienced your particular problem. There are
numerous challenges to software running on a very broad spectrum of
hardware available today.

Your problem could very well be your unique hardware combination and only
something you alone can solve by self study and learning the internals of
pulse. Reminds me of the old OSS and ALSA days, when only every second new
sound card worked, until somebody actually got his hands dirty and
wrote,patched new drivers etc.

Back on topic, I feel it is totally unnecessary to have a new forum, as
this one does not really have lots of traffic, and to get assistance, one
needs to cast a broader net, not a smaller net.
