Hmm, there is a better *solution possible and available*? Did I miss
something? Could you please point me to the sound system that does
at least 10% of what PA does right now?

I am not sure what I should make of this. Do you want to tell me to
go to hell because you know everything better without even reading my
response to your FUD? Or maybe just that you don't want to take part
on this discussion anymore? I tend to take it as the latter.

Dude, what's wrong with you? The solution I presented allows you to
run GNOME without PA, and even removes the hard ESD dependency. You
should be happy with such a solution, and not insulting me.
