Re: how much does pulseaudio use alsa

I'm being blasted by adverts. I think the website is click bait. ;-) Open source people don't like adverts. I'd use the ALSA list. 

Regarding Pulse Audio, I run opensuse where you can painfully turn it off and on. I say painful because I really never had the selection box work without doing a boot. Generally things work better without Pulse Audio. It was a buggy program initially but eventually was OK. 

I do signal processing with sound cards so I don't need the best. In fact, I used those Diamond cards to get an old school 8 bit audio. 

I've had good luck getting functionality out of USB cards. For whatever reason, those C-Media based cards work well under Linux. 

I've often wondered why there never was a kick starter for a dedicated Linux sound card. Give the programmers whatever they want.
