Any sound system that's supposed to be configuration-free shouldn't need a wiki
page like this: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup . Or this:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin.


I personally didn't have any issue with software mixing or manual configuration
with Alsa+dmix, ie, without PA in the past 3 years. Yeah, a long time ago I had
to config dmix manually. On my two Ubuntu distros I get long sound delays with
PA, even in Tuxracer. But as this discussion indicates, other people had
different experiences.

Let me define my personal criteria for when the Linux sound system is useable:
I have a lot of different computers here. I am using a few non-wine Linux apps
with sound(skype, ut2004, quake 3, amarok, some other voip app, tuxracer.

To stick with the number 6: I want to be able to download 6 different distros,
install them on any of my computers. I don't care what the sound system name
is, but it should be the same on all of them. I don't care what kind of API it
uses. I don't care what API the different apps talk to it with. But I want
sound in all of my 6 sound apps working out of the box in all 6 distros on all
of my 6 computers. Once these 6*6*6=216 combinations work out of the box, I'll
say that the Linux sound system is useable.
