Doesn't ALSA have some pretty big limitations?
- Symmetry 15y agoALSA as the only thing running on your system does. But if your game supports ALSA then it can plug into ALSA which plugs into PulseAudio and you still get all the benefits of PulseAudio.
- jiggy2011 15y agoI always uninstall pulseaudio as the first thing I do on my Linux box. I have always noticed a latency between the time that a sound is supposed to be played and when it is actually played with pulse. This doesn't matter so much when listening to an MP3 or whatever but if you are trying to use a sequencer or play a game it becomes a deal breaker.
- aidenn0 15y agoWhat are the benefits of PulseAudio other than making your sound system buggy and increasing audio latency?
- kronusaturn 15y agoIndividual volume control for each app. That's why I use PulseAudio despite its problems.
