Without pulseaudio, sometimes an application would take the sound devices for itself (say, a paused video in firefox) and block any other application to play any audio at all.
Uhm, alsa's integrated dmix plugin address just that. And it's even the default.
Well, as I remember, it did not work. Often I had to find what program had the sound device and stop it before starting another. When pulseaudio was shipped and worked out of the box, I simply ditched alsa. The knowhow at the time said that I needed sound hardware designed for multitasking or something, that it was impossible. Well, pulse made it possible for me. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
