(Apologies in advance for speaking on behalf of another and using the
generic "we", but:)

Paul's point is that whining about the problem - the problem we are all
very much aware of - is not productive in any way.

People doing this have completely derailed this potentially useful
conversation (useful as in discussing of solutions) entirely, not Paul's
message.

I'll try again:

WE KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE.  We also know that it's "not that bad"
once you set it up, or whatever.  Hello?  This is linux-audio-dev.  We
know.  Keep the generic whining about obvious things (or defending
things in response to such) on LAU where it belongs, please.

-dr

P.S. In general there is far too much user whining and wars going on in
here lately.  Can we have linux-audio-DEV back, please?
