Anyway hardware is the province of the kernel, and they are quite efficient solving this kind of bug. I doubt that Ubuntu patches many sound card bugs nowadays in their kernels.

I wish that would be true. ALSA has many (way too many IMO) knobs that the user space can influence and both Fedora and Ubuntu touch them. Or consider BlueTooth. The kernel support is rather generic it is up to the application framework to deal with various devices. Unfortunately the result is that one may have two devices that require different Linux distros to get them working...
