Multi access for application to the soundcard.

Watching youtube movies in firefox and play music on xmms.
If your playing music on xmms and open the firefox with 3 tabs on youtube, ubuntu will crash and do a restart.

Thanks also for all the nice work on ubuntu.

Improve the compatibility with the sounds cards, for example Realtek has drivers for linux you can integrate them like in ubuntu with the graphic drivers (restricted drivers of nvidia and ati).

Ubuntu should take full advantage of all available mouse buttons.

It's a common problem, especially among laptop users, the fact that the soundcard isn't supported 100%. Either a problem with the headphones or with the SPDIF. Users schould be able to enjoy their hardware to it's maximum potential..

Whenever users plan to buy new hardware for their ubuntu machines, they first have to search the web to find informations about kernel/driver support or incompatibility issues.

It would be really helpful if a sticker on the outside of the box of a scanner/printer/usb-dvb-tuner/mp3(ogg)-player/digicam/... simply said "works with ubuntu" or "designed for GNU/Linux" to guarantee that the product runs "out of the box" with Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.
