Agree, still, when something breaks it's not a reason to get emotional. 
Stuff occasionally breaks. There's no need for an editorial, though, when 
that happens. Put all the relevant details into Bugzilla, and post a capsule 
summary in users at .

Just yesterday, the recent pulseaudio update layed an egg on me. A 
combination of Firefox, and a specific .wav file, causes the new pulseaudio 
daemon to either lock up, or peg the CPU at 100%, and freezing Firefox. So, 
I was in the same boat as the OP. I had to downgrade pulseaudio.

But instead of publishing an editorial, I found another user beating me to 
the punch in Bugzilla, but a bit off the mark in the analysis of the 
breakage. After amending the bug with the real facts of life, 24 hours after 
posting a comment in users@, a couple of more folks joined the party, 
confirming the regression, so I'm sure it'll get taken care of, sometime 
soon.
