The only benefit was that I didn't have to restart PA which was a problem at the time. However, the trade off wasn't worth it for me.

[edit] Mixer configuration
First of all, try fiddling with the mixer settings on alsamixer. Don't forget about:
Checking all alsamixer tabs using the Tab key
You can switching mute/unmute using the M key
On the "Capture" tab, you can change the capture source setting using the spacebar
I guess they provided this information for entertainment for those people who have it working perfectly. Give me a break.

No I'm not, I'm using what a driver actually does. Your confusing the middleware with the driver.[/QUOTE]
Uh no. You actually haven't described the nature of a bad driver and what it's effect will be. You're assuming that every anomaly in ALSA gets directly passed through to PA and is heard or noticed by the end user, and it's effect is the same no matter what. Considering we are talking about two different API's hear the likelihood of that being the case in all situations is virtually nill.

Hell I can even adjust the volume on each individual app.
