I looked into it because there had been complaints about issues related
to PulseAudio from users, and I was able to quickly find and analyze
several bugs with no prior familiarity with the code. I do consider
myself better than an "usual" developer, and could probably find some
bugs in most projects, but I think that's still pretty strong evidence
against current PulseAudio being polished code.
Here's an example of one of the nastier bugs:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=29f064aa3d3a83e275361aad3f9e7efdc84b8ad0
I first sent a patch fixing that bug. A PulseAudio developer then posted
an alternative approach to fixing the issue a month later. Then nothing
happened for 2.5 more months until the fix was finally committed. So I
think bug fixing for known bugs is not working particularly efficiently
either.
