I don't think PulseAudio is perfect, but as someone who has been struggling with audio-related Linux stuff since kernel 1.0.x, it's a lot closer than anything else. The config files are sane, and documented in a way non-experts can figure out. If all you need is single system audio on a single card, you probably don't even need to look at the config. Of course, PA still relies on ALSA, and ALSA has to keep up with all the crappy implementations of supposed standards like intel-hda.

Linux audio Posted Mar 31, 2008 18:33 UTC (Mon) by vmole (subscriber, #111) [Link] So how is it supposed to know where to send sound in a multisystem setup? (Actually, PA supports avahi (zeroconf), so actually, I suppose it can automatically figure this stuff out. Never tried that, though.) Or are you just objecting to text editors? PA has GUI config tools. They're still editing files, though. For that matter, so is GConf.
