Well, because the userbase is different, ALSA probably has not the code
tested so much. Although, we do some syncing with the OSS code, it's

I think, that we have sufficient count of good or very good drivers and
debugged framework to start with. More wide audience by other sound
driver developers causes that the code will be continuously improved.
