[LAU] Looking for update on ALSA bugs ??

Hi; On Aug 4-5 I started a short thread on a problem I am having with ALSA. The thread was http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2009-August/061871.h… titled [LAU] ALSA + Intel HDA + (Hauppauge PCIe Combo tv tuner) ?? I have also filed a couple of bug reports with Fedora 11. When I check the Fedora Bugzilla page I can see there is a long list of unresolved ALSA bugs. I have also noticed that Ubuntu users are having the same or similar problems. I have received no feedback from anyone on any of this. I am trying not to carp, but simply enquire. Does anyone know? Is there a particular problem with PCIe; analog sound; cx23885 driver; a lack of maintainers; or, a lack of interest in my kind of TV tuner/sound problem? I am trying to decide between being patient, or, throwing out a brand new $150 tv tuner and buying a different one. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1
