I'm not requiring any new code.  I'm using code that has already been
written and documented; it's just buggy because it hasn't been used by
many applications yet.  I'm not asking ALSA to "follow Audacious" but
merely to do what it is intended to do.

I agree.  Upstream fixes are better.  Perhaps you know someone who has
commit access to ALSA?
