Comment 5 for bug 268301

There are WAY more than 3 Intel Mac Portables (There are about 12 I
can count off the top of my head.) Additionally, There are FAR fewer
Macs when compared to other machines out there and honestly having the
mic not working is far less important than other issues that are
present. On top of all that, the priority on the Mactel-Support is
just assigned by that team and has nothing to do with the priority
that Ubuntu places on your bug. This bug is being worked. Please be
patient.
