LOL Really.... what the **** happened to that old "KISS"principle? You know, Keep It Simple, St*pid? I don't really know what was wrong with OSS to begin with.. At least Sun Microsystems has the right attitude. Look at OpenOffice and Virtualbox for instance. They say "hey, this technology is cool, it should be free" they buy the company and open source the code. Back to sound, Alsa brought a set of new problems and then Pulseaudio was the icing on the cake. What kind of flu virus infects programmers these days that instead of fixing existing architectures they decide to re-invent the wheel? It's not actually the programmers that worry me, but the managers which give these projects their blessing and support. Silverlight on Linux for instance is one technology which should be repudiated by everyone in the FOSS camp. But I digress.
