I agree pretty much on all this. On a amd-based laptop in pure alsa i was unable to figure out why - and how - hdmi always was the first (and default) sound card; with the obvious result there was no sound output in many applications. Only vlc worked because of its very detailed onfiguration options.

But no sound in browser, mplayer etc. etc. With pulseaudio and pavucontrol i could sort that out. Indeed, a coherent sound settings manager (like network-manager or so) would be really very very nice!

Yes, I guess there isn't just black and white, but also 49 shades of grey :P

More or less like:
* very low-end: pure ALSA
* gaming with need for low sound latencys in multiplayer: pure ALSA
* HDMI or other special needs: ALSA+Pulseaudio
* music production: JACK
And this are just the most common use cases covered. Power of freedom: we have the freedom to choose from different possibilities.
