I'm in several mailing lists and in all cases it's generally frowned upon when people use them to post links to articles. Most people consider it spam. Also, having a discussion about features/support in a driver is on thing, but that is not the same as having a discussion about the nature and technical aspects of sound. If you don't understand why those conversations are completely different and not relevant to a drivers lack of support, I'm not sure what to tell you. I do agree with your opinion about capability support. If the hardware supports it, so should the software.
