Incidentally, it's not clear how a fix for a build problem could be tested in Hardy first -- Hardy probably has a new version of aumix already. Nobody's asking for a source code change; all anyone is asking for is a correct build of the source code you're claiming is already in Gutsy.
Anyone frustrated with why fixing a simple build problem is apparently against Ubuntu rules might find it cathartic to read the discussion going on at http:// www.oreillynet. com/linux/ blog/2007/ 12/ubuntu_ innovates_ excuses. html and my own humble contribution at http:// shallowsky. com/blog/ linux/ubuntu- aumix.html
