I never read anything about Lennart until you mentioned him here - I don't know what's the controversy over pulse audio
The base code is poorly written. For example, Lennart's code had incorrectly handled buffer over-runs and under-runs that lead to distorted playback and kernel panics.
It's incompatible with some older software. The incompatibilities lead to PulseAudio becoming unstable while running which in turn can cause the kernel to panic.
Lennart then blamed Canonical for not doing their homework when integrating PulseAudio in Ubuntu 8.whatever. He then stopped working on PulseAudio to work on systemd instead.
Every attack against systemd I've ever heard have been philosophical, so it doesn't surprise me at all that it turns into personal attacks against Lennart.
systemd broke my Samba startup. That's not philosophical. That's not an attack against Lennart. That's a concrete example of systemd failing to perform it's primary function: starting system daemons.
