That's not an opinion. 1. The way how volumes are adjusted is insane, I already explained it in another thread. 2. Pulseaudio does expect information from ALSA drivers, they often can't give, so ALSA drivers that are working without pulseaudio, won't work with pulseaudio. Seems to be related to "1.". 3. Multi-Channel IO cards needed for DAWs can't be used. So at least making PA a hard dependency for a DE is bad. Here we call this "facts", not an opinion.
