I attached a patch to be applied to /usr/share/gconf/schemas/gnome-
audio-profiles.schemas

> What's the next step to get the bug solved?

The next step is to get this patch into Maverick. In an ideal world,
gnome-media should adopt it, then Ubuntu should simply pull it in from
the upstream repo's. However, there's no time for that anymore; the
gnome-media people haven't even looked at my new bug report yet, leave
alone discussed it and committed it, and Maverick comes out of beta and
into "release candidate" in 2 days, at which point they won't be willing
to change a lot anymore, leave alone pulling in new stuff from upstream.
Our only chance is that some friendly ubuntu developer is willing to
slip this in as a last-minute ubuntu-specific patch. I wouldn't hold my
breath; my best bet is that users will still be plagued with quality=6
until "Natty Narwhal" comes out. It's a shame because it's only a few
lines in gnome-audio-profiles.schemas (ignoring translation to other
languages than English for now); no recompiling required or anything.

ABX results or else it's just your imagination.

Evaluation of sound quality is pathologically susceptible to listener bias. This is why there is a market for "$$$$$ ultra high quality S/PDIF cables" and other such snake oil.
