No it wasn't. He explicitly said 'I'll spare you my rants', and _didn't_
put in a big rant about how PA is a PITA. Yes it had some 'tone' due to
be filed just after being very annoyed by some problem. Sometimes that
happens. As a maintiner you have to look past that. The very next
message said 'I'll provide details if someone will help debug'. That
should have been taken at face value, and then this bug might have
actually helped solve the problem.

Which perhaps goes some way to explaining why this sort of problem has
been around for such a long time.
Please try to make some allowance for grumpy (but competent) people
filing bugs when their sound broke and see if we can get useful info and
hopefully better default behaviour which will reduce the incidence of
such problems.
