Ok, I believe this without verifying it. So I still don't know, but I
buy it as truth for this moment.

Hardware steps vs software steps? I Don't believe that it's possible to
automate it.

Assumed the ALSA driver does come with everything PA needs, I still
don't believe that it's smart to do it that way.

"Careful" vs straight, but "careful" implies a delay.

Analog forgives little mistakes, digital doesn't.

Not everybody wishes to be the sun of a gun.

I prefer to be careful, when "using/consuming" audio.
