I'm pretty sure having a USB external harddrive was, at some point, a "complex setup". Guess what: it isn't now. Guess another one: having a BT headset is not, by all means, a "complex setup" in this year and age. > There's the extremes.

It doesn't really matter; if Linux cannot handle normal systems (and sorry, but handling a BT headset is, by all means, a "normal system"), then Linux is no more than a server OS and perhaps a nice hobby OS. So normal systems require PA. That *you* perhaps don't require PA is another thing altogether. This is, after all, the XXI century.
