Maybe a bit late for a response, but my pain with PA is recent and acute. Today was the day (the night) when sound disappeared on my system one time too many. Never again. My heartfelt thanks go to ninikos whose guide allowed me to restore my setup to sanity in about five minutes.
And to another user whose pontification was the polar opposite of useful, I got a word to say as well. So, here go several points of correction.

If you happen to have 20+ years of successful distro maintenance under your belt, then you get to critique the addition of components.

This is so old it's not even funny, but let me reiterate it specifically for you:
Unless you happen to have 20+ years of successful egg-laying, do you or don't you get to critique a rotten egg in your breakfast?

If you cared to read the ChangeLog for the addition of Pulseaudio, you would understand why it was added. It was not added for arbitrary reasons.

If you think that the reasons of supporting some people's HW (Bluetooth) justify breaking things for other people (like me with my very regular TWO soundcards in one system), think again.

Additionally, if you cared to do a search here for pulseaudio, you would discover that, for the vast majority of people, PulseAudio works just fine. It's only for some (few) people, who have specialized needs, that the addition of PulseAudio causes issues. Can't please everyone.

For MUCH vaster majority of people, Windows works just fine. For the vast majority of the rest, OS X does. For the vast majority of the 2% that remain, it is so called "mainstream" distros. If you have no better argument than "we are the legion" on a Slackware forum of all places... you should have stayed with MS products.
