Comment:
IMHO "it would be great" is not a correct way to put it; we _need_ PA to
play nice with ALSA dmix, which is now turned on by default, regardless of
whether the device supports hardware mixing or not.
I remember exactly how many years it took to convert most apps from OSS to
ALSA (in fact, many still use OSS only), I know of many apps that will
never convert to a pulseaudio API, which make them not play any sound ever
while the PA server is running because PA, unlike any other ALSA client
I've used before, has the uncanny ability of hogging the sound device and
not letting anyone else access it. Not nice!
