I think the problem here is that most Distros/Users still use regular ALSA 
output which now seems to use a different codepath than what PulseAudio 
uses. As a result the bugs are hard to file against ALSA and get lower 
priority because the driver technically works for most users. If the ALSA 
developers could unify this codepath so that the "traditional" way of 
accessing the driver is basically a layer using the new functionality that 
codepath would probably receive more attention.
