Complaining after a feature freeze isn't going to help us get the
software in the release just coming up.

What we don't want to do is do a botched job at supporting work-arounds,
instead of fixing the original use cases.

I'm not interested in adding a button to do this or that using ALSA. So,
no, we won't be adding a way to change the input settings via ALSA to
the gnome-volume-control UI. And we'll be fixing this properly for F12.

If you have specific use-cases that aren't covered by the current
software, file a bug upstream.
