Comment 82 for bug 213053

Glyph, the change "New -> Fix Released" happened in the project "PulseAudio" (have a look at the top of this bug for that). Next to it there is a bug number. If you follow the link you get to the bug in the upstream bug tracker (upstream is where the developers of the software are and fix the bugs, we then pull the new package version). This helps us keeping track of the progress.

If you read through the comments in the upstream bug you'll see that it says:

>>>
    * status changed from new to closed
    * resolution set to fixed
    * milestone set to 0.9.16

This was a problem with dlunloading modules if I remember. Which has been fixed a while back in PA. Closing
<<<

In this case they actually provid a version number the bug fix will be present in: 0.9.16

Then, we (the bug triagers) will have a look at the version that is currently in ubuntu ("rmadison" is a great tool for that):
*snip*
pulseaudio | 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu20.2 | jaunty-updates | source, amd64, i386
pulseaudio | 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu4 | karmic | source, amd64, i386

You can see that the development version karmic already ships with a "test"-version of 0.9.16 so this bug might already be fixed. After some testing feedback (best from the bug reporter, because he had the problem) the bug can be closed :).
