   People don't hate PA because of SD, they hate it on its own merits. If anything, the history of PA made people worried about SD:

   1. Solved a problem nobody knew they had. ALSA and OSS already existed for local, esd already existed for networked audio.
   2. Claimed compatibility with pre-existing things, broke a whole bunch of stuff. This was other people's fault for not using PA.
   3. Difficult to remove, because now everything depends on it.

   Does any of this sound familiar?

     I don't have these problems myself, but for people who do audio production:

     PulseAudio doesn't support low-latency audio like JACK does, and doesn't support the advanced kind of audio routing between applications that JACK can do.

     Apparently you are supposed to be able to run mainly JACK, and for the applications that require PA, they can do that on top of JACK, but I've never had the need to play with this.
