I may be mistaken, but PulseAudio doesn't seem to fit that definition at all. Pulse allows for a lot more functionality and modularity than ALSA, the problem people had with it was that it was just really really buggy when it was pushed as the default in a lot of distros.
- mondoshawan 6y agoYour use of "was" here is sadly, incorrect. PA is still horrifically broken on simple PC desktop systems I use (with integrated AC97 audio, btw) and on custom embedded systems I have integrated new sound chips into. I regularly have to open pavucontrol to fix basic things like "where output audio streams are routed to", fight with audio frequency rates, etc. On new embedded designs, PA is often the bane of my existance because of the insane heuristics it runs to figure out audio policies and mixer/routing behaviors. Even the major desktop environments have trouble trying to integrate with the blasted thing. PA is still hot garbage, straight from upstream source.
