    Alright. Nothing I knew about at the time.

    Still it worked really well for me, and the experience I have is basically that a working system (pulse) was replaced by another (pipe). Must’ve been lucky.

      Yeah. I’ve been using Linux for at least 20 too

      Things like pulse audio also exposed a lot of driver bugs in audio hardware. In fact, in Windows, I discovered my awe64 was massively slowing down my system

      I suspect some people are confusing the issues with windows 7 too though, where some people also had audio issues initially

        Ah, so they blamed pulse for driver and firmware bugs? I guess that happens easily.

          Not all of when of course, but I seem to remember it was a factor. But it was so long ago now

          Windows also had a lot of similar accusations at the time too

            Interesting. Clearly a common thing, then. Thanks for sharing that!
