Here is a patch, 2 weeks old.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461546
I took a look at the bug and also at the related upstream Trac ticket
http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/606
A few observations:
- The patch has nothing to do with {soft,hard}ware mixing. It's about
system-wide mode of PA.
- The patch may be 2 weeks old, but there was active discussion
about it just 2 days ago.
- It's funny how in the BZ the proponent of the patch first accused
Lennart of "Dreppering" the bug and then he himself needlessly
insulted Lubomir Rintel who had reviewed the patch.
- In the upstream ticket the patch proponent uses undiplomatic innuendo
in most comments and stubbornly demands his patch to be accepted
even though it is seen as a kludge by both Lennart and Colin and
Lennart gives a hint how it should be solved in a better way.
