Bugs can be fixed. Pulse is newer than Alsa and more complex, you should expect bugs. If you don't have a problem with the implementation details of PA (software mixing, optional software equalizing, networked audio, stateful audio adaption to devices) then just report the bugs and make it better. Don't whine and try to fragment the Linux space any worse than it already is, especially with Mir's announcement.
- raverbashing 14y agoYes, I should expect bugs soon after release But PA is 8 years now. I don't remember any software being so problematic as PA in the Linux world. Some have more problems, yes, but they usually have a limited deployment.
- iso-8859-1 14y agoFlash Player? You didn't have problems with that?
- raverbashing 14y agoOf course I did. Still less frequently than PA
- Wilya 14y agoThe real question is why did you need something newer in the first place ? Are years of bugs, misconfigurations, random crashes worth the minimal improvement end-users will get in the end (when everything finally works for everyone) ? Yes, pulseaudio has all sorts of awesome esoteric features. You can stream sound transparently from a linux box to a windows one. That's kind of useless if it brings down your computer.
