Well no, the advice he got was 'instead of asking for the sliders,
please report what it is you need to use the sliders to fix so we can
make it work in a better way'. This is what both Lennart and the ALSA
developers have been saying for years. This is the kind of work you see
going on in alsa-devel every day, if you take the trouble to read it.

But by all means, go on living in your much angrier version of reality
if it makes you feel happier.

Meh.
