I suppose that PulseAudio has a networked aspect that may be out of the scope of ALSA and its design seems more flexible than ESD and less complex than JACK, but I don't know how it measures up to other sound servers like artsd or NAS. I seem to remember though that the polyp ALSA plugin was developed after a bounty from some company, so its necessity may have not been examined very objectively - money does have the tendency to twist the way people think :-) > It reeks of NIH.
