I understand where you are coming from and I agree that it is a good 
recommendation. 3 years ago I would have been with you 100% however I 
have been running a 64 bit os for the past three years and the sound 
issue is the only thing that I keep coming up against the is so 
frustrating. It's like we are behind the curve in many ways.

I really think we can do better and making some official recommendations 
specific to audio config on 64 bit other than "don't use 64 bit" or 
specific to working with audio apps other "than disable pulseaudio" 
seems like a good idea to me.
