Maybe many people got the bad impression of PA, because PA just still doesn't work with their audio cards, and because PA still causes more problems than it solves. There are only a very few SoundBlaster and AC'97 onboard sound cards which are supported by PA. Maybe PA works with those sound cards. But it doesn't work with other ones like the (semi-)professional audio cards. And most of PA's features - well, every useful feature - is available by ALSA and/or the audio applications themselves. Nevertheless installing PA just adds a new additional layer that can cause problems. So finding the reason for a bug is unnecessarily more complicated than without PA. Oh yes, I forgot, PA doesn't and never will have any bugs. Bugs are always only caused by ALSA, which works absolute flawlessly, even with those (semi-)professional audio cards. Heiko
