I may have some time this weekend and the next weeks to continue working on both Clearlooks and Murrine GTK+ engines.
I need ideas 
This post remembers you that I’ve opened a section where you can easily submit your mockups for Murrine. Use gnome bugzilla for Clearlooks.

Here you can find an example of the “pulseaudio glitches” we (unlucky netbook’s owners) hear.
I decided to reinstall pulseaudio, because I share Lennart’s idea that it’s better to start fixing drivers and applications as soon as we can: it’s useless, imho, to stop freesoftware’s development just because vendors/drivers/applications are bugged.
Some things work better than in the past months, banshee seems to be almost glitch-free (it wasn’t when I tried it in december).
I’m going to share with you my glitch-free experience: 
just recordered, sorry for the white noise but the netbook’s speakers have a low power noise removed thanks to audacity.
pulseaudio-frozenbubble-no-noise (FLAC, 1.8 MB, I can hear more glitches here)
pulseaudio-frozenbubble-no-noise (WAV, 3.2 MB)
pulseaudio-frozenbubble (FLAC, 2.0 MB, I can hear more glitches here)
pulseaudio-frozenbubble (WAV, 3.5 MB)
Pulseaudio 0.9.14, snd-hda-intel (Realtek ALC 272), Fedora Core 10.
Also, CPU usage for pulseaudio is between 10% and 35% (and ~25% without the g-f feature). Not really fun for the laptop’s battery.
