It's hard not to get political about this, but for me
pulseaudio has<br>
always worked as expected and it basically freed me of
hassling around<br>
with Linux audio issues. The only hassle about it are
softwares like Pd<br>
that prevent it from working silently by not supporting
it.<br>

<div>Most of the PA haters were born from using Fedora or
Ubuntu between 2008 and 2011 (not exact dates). Fedora
and Ubuntu, as early adopters of about every software
package in development, routinely break some kind of
important system. If you were using a sane distro during
that time, you probably barely noticed. I did just enough
PA hatin' to remember why.<br>

<div>I thought PA had an alsa plugin, so you wouldn't have
to go through portaudio?<br>

Well, if I choose the ALSA API from within Pure Data, it works with
PulseAudio but it won't share the soundcard with other programs.<br>
