PulseAudio is not a part of the signal flow of any pro-audio workflow.

That said, its control applications that adjust the hardware mixer work in just the same way that any other hardware mixer application does, so if you like it, there's no reason not to use it.

People,

I am not a professional LA user but I have regard for what serious LA users have to say.  A post turned up on the Fedora XFCE list about removing xfce4-mixer for F29 - I responded with:

"Every time I upgrade I immediately UNinstall PA and use ALSA only - so I still depend on xfce4-mixer . ."

Someone replied that PA has greatly improved since the early days especially and "controlling streams separately is an added feature" - but I can do that with the .asoundrc I have now - are there any good reasons for me to reconsider the situation the next time I do a fresh install?  (I realise I am likely to get biased comments here but I am not going to post on a PA list . .).

Thanks,

Phil.
