What I don't like is that audio systems on Linux are too complicated. For example, all that ALSA needs to do is to provide exclusive access to a device (only one program at a time) and send samples into it unmodified (no bit depth change, no resampling, no mixing, no volume adjustment etc). But open source developers cannot do such a simple thing. They added thousands of unnesessary features, hundreds config options and turned ALSA into a monster. When it should be just a dumb backend for PulseAudio.
