Just as it's not Lennart's fault that all the other sound servers failed at becoming standard. Because a general purpose operating system really needs such a mechanism. I think users should be happy about the fact that PulseAudio seems to be a good enough design (bugs aside) to become the standard for doing sound on Linux
