Some distributions did a better job adopting PulseAudio than others. On the good side I certainly have to list Mandriva, Debian[3], and Fedora[4]. OTOH Ubuntu didn’t exactly do a stellar job. They didn’t do their homework. Adopting PA in a distribution is a fair amount of work, given that it interfaces with so many different things at so many different places. The integration with other systems is crucial. The information was all out there, communicated on the wiki, the mailing lists and on the PA IRC channel. But if you join and hang around on neither, then you won’t get the memo. To my surprise when Ubuntu adopted PulseAudio they moved into one of their ‘LTS’ releases rightaway [5]. Which I guess can be called gutsy — on the background that I work for Red Hat and PulseAudio is not part of RHEL at this time. I get a lot of flak from Ubuntu users, and I am pretty sure the vast amount of it is undeserving and not my fault.
