Yes.

more dependant on the distro packaging them than on the software itself.
In
particular, in Ubuntu, it worked very well in Ubuntu 12.04 (you didn't
need to
do anything special); but after upgrading to 12.10 it's stopped working
(PA
doesn't play nice with Jack, you have to stop one to have the other
working).
It's become almost a tradition for me to fix the sound system each Ubuntu
upgrade :-)
13.04 is already looking better with pa 3.* There seem to be patches being
added daily. Very active development.
I'm not advocating for PA. If you are setting up a box that has/uses no
desktop sound, I would not include PA. It does fill a need for some people
though.
