Dear Maintainer,

today I want to point out, that recording with 'Software Playthrough' option is
still not workable. Recording audio does not hang anymore and listening to what you record
works. This is the follow-up report to:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649561
The problem in stable is currently, that the recorded audio is not really usable.
For example instead of a 25-minutes recording I had one with about five minues with this
option enabled. This also had some clipping-artefacts.
Possibly the CPU-load is also too extreme while trying this.
