Honestly, I guess its because I chose my hardware wisely - i.e. I use only very well-supported hardware components (in my case, Presonus/BridgeCo.), where high-capacity, low-latency audio was sort of implemented on Linux first and then ported to the other platforms .. so I'm looking at a current Firewire- based rig of 2 19" racks, full of gear, summing up to 40+ channels of audio over a single cable to the main DAW controller running Ardour. In other words, I don't need no stinking' "game/consumer Audio", which is what Pulseaudio represents to me .. Therein lies the beauty, I guess, of Linux - and of F/OSS creative-tools, in general ..
