PA is a great consumer thing, and that's exactly what we need.
That may be exactly what you need, but not what we need. Otherwise we all could stick with Windows. You can read your e-mails and write some letters with Windows. So why using Linux?
Because noone cares about "pro" audio solutions which are a nightmare to configure.
I don't need to configure anything to get my M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 to get running perfectly with ALSA. And all the pro audio software work without any configuration out-of-the-box with this card and ALSA. What's not working with this card is PulseAudio, and to get it working with PulseAudio somehow I need to cripple it down to stereo with a nightmare of configuration. Heiko
