      Sounds reasonable to me. The day only has so much hours. Software engineering is always a story of trade-offs, isn’t it?

      Why do you think these issues have nothing to do with drivers? Apart from confusing controls, all of these can be attributed to hardware and driver quirks.

          All of the following is speculation on my side and just stated as fact for easier reading / writing.

          Because through the years I never had problems with plain Alsa on the same hardware

          Because it did not allow for the functionality that exposed those bugs (as in PulseAudio provided features that should work according to documentation, but didn’t)

          I don’t have problems with pipewire either on that hardware.

          Because these bugs got fixed after PulseAudio exposed them.
