> Mozilla has complained for quite a while that their ALSA backend hasn’t been supported or updated in years, and they don’t have the manpower to do so. (Especially with their marketshare falling below 8%). What an utterly ridiculous argument. You're implying that everyone using software has to keep track of every single upstream project, their mailing lists and requests. That doesn't even remotely scale on a personal level. There just aren't enough hours in a day to be able to read all those mailing lists, and that's assuming every end user even remotely has the skills to understand what is being discussed anyway. As an argument, this makes no more sense than "Well it's an open source project, fix it yourself". This kind of scenario is always going to end up happening.
