I'll snip the rant because everybody has suffered thru reading it 3+ times now, but I am in violent agreement with your opinion. However I don't think it entirely pulseaudio's fault, more likely some idiot web page designers poor coding. If a way to insulate us from their poor coding could be found I believe that would fix 75% of the problems. I have long since lost track of the number of times I have lost sound in the middle of my nightly tour of the news sites etc, only to have them fixed by finding an idle shell and doing an alsactl --restore.
