I would and may go ahead and do that, but from what I am to understand from the reading I have done these all stem from some type of driver related issues that kernel updates have caused. From the little I understand and the things I read it seems like the CPU implementation (which includes the Audio and GPU) has some factor to play here and parting out the problem to smaller bits may miss the underlying cause. I have seen all of these problems listed in several places but seem to only come together on older iMac's. Since Apple uses relatively similar but slightly different versions of the intel chips it could very well all be cause by the same underlying issue. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the linux kernel or really linux as a whole (not as much as I understand Windows ... yeah I know I hate MS too) so I can't be sure I'm not speaking out my back side but all of the fixes or root issues people have talked about online seem to point some type of kernel problem with the drivers. I could be very wrong about that with the ALSA/pulse audio issues but it seems like the hardware isn't getting recognized properly and the system does its best guess which doesn't seem to do the job.
