I'm sorry. I can't answer this adequately. It's what came up the last time I saw this discussion.
Apparently, and I'm clearly not anywhere near enough of an audiophile to understand what they were going on about, pulseaudio does make some sound capabilities that matter a lot to musicians--which I think *did* include mixing--and other people who really care about extremely high fidelity sound. It was, for me, a jaw-dropping conversation that required me to acknowledge that as much as I think I care about high quality sound, I was completely out of my league.
I'd point you to the right list if I remembered which it was. And I think it'll be hard to find via Google because usually discussions about pulseaudio and its necessity devolve into flame wars.
