Pulseaudio is not regressive, it is better than ALSA or OSS for sure! I had the same problem that Quake 4 sound didn't work but you can do that:
Edit (use sudo also): /etc/openal/alsoft.conf: Uncomment drivers so that pulse is first, save the file: drivers = pulse Restart your computer just in case. After that i had no problems in Quake 4. It uses OpenAL as it's sound layer for Linux.
