Looking over the WONTFIXes:

- yours (filed 04/17, closed 04/23)
- 486500 (closed WONTFIX for F10, should work in F11)
- 477938 (closed WONTFIX for F10, should work in F11)
- 460798 (string change, not relevant for functionality)
- 455207 (closed WONTFIX for F9, should work in F11)
- 454217 (closed WONTFIX for F9, should work in F11)

(note, at this point we're in old F8 and F9 bugs)

- 451633 (apps linked statically against ancient esound don't work. Don't do that!)
- 450610 (appears that you can do what the reporter wanted in any case)
- 448509 (padsp has issues with some binary-only apps)
- 444684 (fixed differently, in a F9 update)
- 422741 (EOL distro)
- 411151 (fixed by going to autospawning)

Hm, perhaps the NOTABUGs for PA and gnome-media?

- 488779 (PA handles volume differently; as stated, it is not a bug)
- 492757 (user tried again, it worked)
- 492790 (KVM bug for not properly using PA)
- 493978 (debug spew, toned down in later builds in any case)
- 494112 (mplayer adjusts the wrong volume control -> mplayer bug)
- 494116 (filed against wrong component)
- 494684 (config error, didn't reoccur)
- 494747 (VMWare bug)
- 494975 (config error)
- 495806 (PEBKAC, according to reporter)
- 496467 (driver bug)
- 497089 (went away in later rawhide)
- 497177 (permission problem, fixed elsewhere)
- 469335 (RT option intentionally not exposed; seems reasonable)
- 469549 (config error)
- 469677 (other app holding card open)
- 470707 (libflashsupport needed for closed flash)
- 474397 (PEBKAC)
- 476429 (config error)
- 476848 (debug spew, toned down in later builds in any case)
- 479162 (flash, missing packages not installed)
- 479492 (error in driver init)
- 480499 (flash bug)
- 480875 (other app holding card open)
- 484332 (half-mixed rawhide & f10 system had dep issues)
- 485475 (output profiles not shown in mixer - will be added later)
- 486525 (misunderstanding of command-line options)
- 487270 (driver bug)
- 488770 (output profiles not shown in mixer - will be added later)
- 483231 (complaining that applet -> notification area moved it in the panel)
- 489546 (filed against wrong component)
- 494340 (volume control requires PA)
- 494709 (misunderstanding of new flat volume support)
- 497053 (volume control requires PA)

So, looking at the bugs that could possibly be categorized as 'regressions'
or 'we don't support that use case yet' (not that I necessarily agree) were
closed WONTFIX or NOTABUG, we have:

496284 - filed 04/17, closed 04/23
485475 - filed 02/13, closed 02/17
488770 - filed 03/05, closed 03/19

That's 3 bugs, as far as I can tell, that were closed in this manner. (And the
last two are really duplicates). So, what am I missing?

Bill
