Which would be weird, because ALSA worked fine on Mandriva. It was pulseaudio that broke Mandriva's sound support when it arrived :-)

Even now there is no in-kernel audio mixer that I know of. Why would you need one?

Just think about the possibilities, GNU/Linux could be as successful as FreeBSD on the desktop if only audio hadn't been made gratuitously complex with user-space mixing.

Mandriva had a user-space sound demon that mediated multiple-source sound input. I do not know if other distro desktops had an equivalent, but it worked fine for me. Better than the early version of pulseaudio that eventually replaced it.
