The reason is latency. If the audio is mixed in software both on pulseaudio and alsa levels, the latency is unnecessarily high, and the processing will waste resources.

Still, this could be an issue for audiophiles, but they can use jack. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
