So..... I'm tired of everyone saying get rid of OSS and just have ALSA because
everything supports ALSA. FYI, BSD only supports OSS, and ALSA has OSS
emulation, so if we drop anything, it should be everything but OSS. OSS has
been around forever and virtually everyone supports it.

That being said, I'm pro-pulse. As an "average" non-heavy-gamer user, I do crap
like run Quicken through wine, where I like my little ka-ching sound when I add
a transaction, and I don't want to suspend my music via rhythmbox to get it.

The idea is if you want to tweak every last ounce of performance out of your
sound server, then let them, keep ALSA or JACK or OSS. Pulse is moving to be an
"average" user solution. Is it bug free? absolutely not. Then again, what is?
Are the pulse devs willing to improve it? As far as I can tell yes. But their
primary users are "average" joe. They use ALSA as a base because it has the
drivers, but they provide a simple yet powerful front end to users.

So please, read Stefan's advice in Comment 157. I especially like #3, and would
love to know where to donate to make this happen =). Art, Thank you so much for
your patch. Even if it isn't accepted, it's a step in the right direction.
