That's not an opinion. 1. The way how volumes are adjusted is insane, I
already explained it in another thread. 2. Pulseaudio does expect
information from ALSA drivers, they often can't give, so ALSA drivers
that are working without pulseaudio, won't work with pulseaudio. Seems
to be related to "1.". 3. Multi-Channel IO cards needed for DAWs can't
be used. So at least making PA a hard dependency for a DE is bad. Here
we call this "facts", not an opinion.
