PulseAudio removes all this non-sense by providing mixing in almost all situations (while Alsa is doing it out of the box only for analog output), correct setup of output (no need to remap channels), provide a sane naming of output (no meaningless numbered outputs), universal support for multiple input and output devices with per-application selection, per application volume, per application output, out of the box Bluetooth support with no need to put a MAC address in your asoundrc, network transparency with autodiscovery. Nobody cares about pacmd list-* being too verbose. Is it a serious argument about maturity? -- panic("Detected a card I can't drive - whoops\n"); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/daynaport.c
