Even if one accepts the premise that PA is an answer for things- if ALSA's busted, putting it on top of it won't FIX it, it only sweeps the problems under the carpet at best.

You're using a generalization of "driver buggy" it depends on exactly what the issue is.

Second do you know how many versions of Intel HDA exist? There's tons originally I knew of 3 different versions. Now there's tons more. I have a version of it too and my experience is different then yours which is neither wholly indicative nor wholly inconclusive of how it will function.
