Windows "works" for many people it does not make it the best OS or the only one. |

In Ubuntu they went from oss to PulseAudio. |
| 9 |
I bet that 90% of Ubuntu users do not know that PulseAudio uses Alsa. |

Why do you think PulseAudio is userspace. Haha |

Setting up Alsa was/is hard to do but with my on board chip it was plug and play. |

If Alsa was easy to setup then PulseAudio would not be main stream. |

Alsa trys to hardware mix if it can not it mixes in software. |
| 23 |
PulseAudio mixes in software and never trys to mix in hardware. |
| 24 |
Did I get that right? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So if your n900 sound chip can not mix in hardware then you may as well use PulseAudio. |
| 27 |
As the load is still on the CPU. |

At the end of the day I want to pick a sound system and use it. |

I do not want one forced on me. |
