A message from a poor duped user here: I have 4 computers, only 1 runs Pulseaudio. Pulseaudio simply doesn't work or work well on 2 of them and the third running bare Alsa have a Sound Blaster Audigy with hardware mixing that would be abstracted away by Pulseaudio, so Pulseaudio is undesired here.
I read the comments about Alsa being unmaintained. The way I see it from an user point of view: - ALSA is the official Linux audio API - Pulseaudio is a popular, but optional, add-on package - An application supporting ALSA works on all systems, including systems with Pulseaudio - An application supporting Pulseaudio only works with Pulseaudio Therefore if you can't maintain ALSA support, as I see it, you are doing a poor job support Linux. The ALSA API isn't rocket science either, so if attempt to look at it from a developer point of view, I don't see much hassle as well.
