Well, we all agree on this (I hope). At least on my side, I'm not trying
to do it for a question of principle.

I have no idea about Adobe. Skype is actively working on it, it seems.
They have an experimental PA support which should be part of the next
release, but what they said on their website is that it has stability
problems (strange!) ;-)

I would add some other stuff actually, if you didn't include them in the
"mixer problems". Which are the crashes of the daemon that leave you
without controls. On my side they are pretty frequent, and in theory a
patch was already applied for that in 11.0.
