If you want something doing, do it yourself. Write a patch that fixes
the problem and send it to the package maintainers.
I think that's a poor attitude to hear on a support list.
To people not familiar with C you have made no point at all, just
insulted them for their choice of career. Since when is knowledge of C a
requirement?
I did not mean to insult anyone. Sorry if I did. "If you want something doing, do it yourself." was something my mum used to say all the time.
In open source software almost all the work is done by volunteers. If something doesn't
work, it's not (usually...) because the developers chose to be awkward. Simply moaning
that Alsa mutes the channels by default isn't going to help. Putting something in BLFS to
say "type `m' to unmute the channels" might.
