PulseAudio seems to get by far the most development and support. I tried ALSA and couldn't get any sound at all, and it didn't seem to be very well integrated into my shell. I did get ALSA to work on my laptop, but there were still lots of tradeoffs. |

That said, at its core Pulseaudio depends on ALSA for the hardware handling.
Frankly the only useful thing Pulseaudio does it handle inputs and outputs when dealing with multiple sound devices. But then so does JACK.
Everything else, from volume control (hello hearing damage with default settings) to bit rate mangling, is massively superfluous.
