Ubuntu Fedora and other major distributions are using PulseAudio for nearly two
years now.
Professionals can use ALSA on whatever distribution or operating system they
want, BUT still most linux users use PulseAudio by default.
So according to wikipedia

using ALSA on a PulseAudio system, adds more delay because of the use of
'libalsa Pulse' on the library layer, and causes even more problems. 
Remember that this is the current situation for MOST linux users.

So using ALSA is more professional (you can just let it be the default), but
not providing native PulseAudio driver hurts the masses.
Of course, we can try forcing all those users to use ALSA, or event force them
to use windows... You forget that linux (most Wine users use it) is about
freedom.

And yes there is someone who is willing to be a maintainer, it`s him who will
write the code not you (PulseAudio haters) so stop complaining.
