Alsa works fine, with PA disabled/nuked. > PA is simply one layer that, if it works with your chipset, allows control of more than one channel. If it doesn't work with your chipset it falls back to the alsa controls. There is no way that PA is responsible for 90% of the things people claim - it's simply not possible. Yes, you can disable it or remove it, if you choose, but if also would work without it, it will also work with it. FWIW PA works well on a couple of fedora installs here, but not on this laptop. Every day I see a notification that it can't work with my chipset, so sound will fall back to Default (which is alsa). I have no sound problems whatsoever. I don't know a single application that doesn't work as expected (though naturally I haven't tried every available one).
