PA is pretty painful, but credit where it's due: Now that linux's OSS support is pretty much dead and buried, it's pretty much the only way to do cross-platform sound on the unixes. Even if it is a baroque, overly complex mess (it is), it has helped to increase portability across systems.

Not that it matters, as Wayland and systemd slowly eradicate all cross-compatability in software complex enough to care.

Which is kind of ironic, when you think about it...
