| Why do you keep it, then? In your case, it's just an added layer of complexity. |

The OTW-aCOSwt syndroma... Probably.
Watch it ! , I understand you well but a particular subset of contributors won't.
The only error you make is... to try to convince contributors belonging to this subset.

Your only chance would be to acquire some phase shift...
(BTW, if you succeed, don't disclose the sign of the phase shift you applied, often, people take offense...)

you make broad claims - but suddenly it is just gentoo?
Come on, I expect better from you. There is not one good reason to cripple alsa just because pulseaudio is running. Pulseaudio that is gradually forced down everybody's throat.

Okay, I think I see where you're coming from. There are two use cases I'm thinking of:
ALSA Only
This is already in place and functioning very well.
PulseAudio Server with ALSA Applications
ALSA in the user space would no longer be necessary. The PulseAudio daemon would talk directly to the kernel. ALSA applications would make use of the virtual ALSA device that PulseAudio already exposes. This would require extensive changes to PulseAudio, but would also eliminate an entire layer of plumbing.
In short, if you don't want to cripple ALSA just because PulseAudio is running, don't run PulseAudio. You have a choice in this matter. |

It doesn't cause me any problems so far (and it's been quite a while), so I just can't be bothered to get rid of it. |

The problem with udev was and still is that, it works well, and apparently the developers don't like that.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Good joke. Unless of course you equate "prevents system from booting" with "works well". |

| I just like to be sincere for a moment. What went wrong? Since /dev got hijacked, I kind of lost focus..The only good thing I can see of it, we should endorse, the rest, screw it. |

I so hope that Al Viro is going to fork udev. The only man Linus seems to respect.

Why would it ever need httpd capability in order for one to get logs. Also, even if the minimal version is going to simply depend on an external logging daemon, why would they specify a particular one and not simply pump information where you configure it to?
It seems like systemd has become The Blob.

If it all it gives you is the same as ALSA does, I'd get rid of it as useless bloat.

I start to have problems I will - right now getting rid of it would fixing what ain't broken, wasted effort.
I also use Gentoo at work and use bare ALSA, obviously. |

What a jackass. |
somebody voices a different opinion - being nice and everything - and he is first insulted and then blocked/banned.
What an asshole.
Reminds me of the groklaw posse. If you dared to say something unpopular or even (GASP!) critized PJ they just deleted your account. Discussion? Not wanted.

Yeah, it's like every time he sets forth a position, he talks complete and utter sh*t. The amount of contradictions is amazing; he goes from saying "this is better than a separate syslogd machine as there's no infrastructure required" to "this does need an offline machine to do the verification" in two sentences. |

Finally, we are not lucky !
Instead of working for Readhat, this guy could have been burning EEPROMS at AMI or PHOENIX...
That way... we would not even need to boot our systems...
