.. unless you are using bluetooth headphones or streaming sound in a

Moving between a BT headset and external speakers is a useful feature.
Haven't had to do it but can't see where that can't be done with ALSA
along with the existing hotplug/dbus/udev/blah.
If you can get it working seamlessly without PulseAudio, let me know.
Streaming sound over
the network has been in ESD (and NAS) for over a decade.
PulseAudio among other things, is a compatible replacement for ESD which
is unmaintained and has other issues. Once you look into all these
different use cases, you need a sound server and PulseAudio is what we
have to do that. Other sound servers cover some of the niche cases but
not everything.
