I'll say it too. There is a lot of unfairness around PulseAudio. Sure, it had its share of bugs BUT so did Alsa. PulseAudio was pushing the envelope so crappy

I'll say it too. There is a lot of unfairness around PulseAudio. Sure, it had its share of bugs BUT so did Alsa. PulseAudio was pushing the envelope so crappy Alsa drivers showed they limits. Crappy sound chips too. But PA took most of the blame although it was not always it fault. It could have been handled differently, maybe.
