So, you're saying that they should have left a bug in a driver, that
could affect things further down the line in kernel production, for the sake of
one application? I'm upset that rvplayer 5.0 isn't working either, and that
Real hasn't made a fix for it, but I would rather live without that, than to
have a buggy driver in my kernel. Kudos to those who fixed the bug, and to
those making sound better in the kernel.
