Then, well, you made it really too dramatic. Requesting the update to
the latest kernel is a very standard procedure. Otherwise, the

The most important thing is to level the environment of both
development and testing. Thus this has nothing to with blaming
whomever. It's the stage even before blaming someone else.

IIRC, it's my slightly-dramatized rendering of what one of the ALSA
developers said when he responded to my bug report about not being able
to record from the mic input on my Intel chipset. He basically said that
the ALSA driver was not being notified *by the kernel* that the audio
input buffer was full and ready to be read. He advised me to try again
with a more recent kernel. Now the part about the kernel people blaming
it on ALSA developers may have come from this list. The reason you see the options for "caller
ID" and "off hook" is that
the Intel HDA chipset also includes a modem. My laptop uses Intel HDA,
and I'm used to the modem part showing up as if it were an audio device.
The audio works on my laptop except for an inability to record from the
mic input. Last I heard, ALSA was blaming the kernel, and kernel
developers were blaming ALSA. Although I haven't tried it since my most
recent kernel update.
An interesting rumor. Where did you hear such a thing?
