Which version are you using, it got better and then worse and then
better again IIRC.  Yeah, it's still in the process of maturing.

On default installation of any recent major distros, PA is the default
and ALSA via PA is the default too, so the configuration doesn't
matter at all.  I think PA is the way to go (all other guys are
already there) && we're past the point of no return at this point &&
it's nicer to program to and has some features I wanted (per-pgrp
volume for example), so...

Thanks.
