double agent poettering. you are to remain quiet in your new position until you receive the call to activate.

  Due to an unforseen DBUS on WSL bug, we never were able to activate our double agent.

    On the contrary: DBUS queue was never cleared and the agent kept receiving activation signals over and over unil overflowed ))

I don't know why the hate, both systemd and Pulseaudio are great, at least better than what was before them and improved Linux desktop quite a bit.

  Just, no. Pulseaudio legitimately screwed up Audio on Linux for years and is a major source of headaches, even still today, for anyone trying to do audio properly on Linux. Thank FNORD for Pipewire, meanwhile.

    Did you actually use Linux audio before pulse audio? It sure was great only using sound from one application at once.
    - boffinAudio 4y ago
      Used JACK extensively before Pulseaudio came along .. never had any issue with it that Pulseaudio would solve.

      Of course having audio switch when you switch applications has its benefits as well...

      I did, and contrary to unfounded meme, this was actually possible before PulseAudio was introduced.

  Maybe for you. For me pulseaudion brought only problems. And the additional daemons did not bring any improvement (i don't use gnome or kde).

  Pulseaudio created a lot of pain when it first arrived, since it had a ton of teething problems. It doesn't have logical defaults even today. However, Pipewire just worked without any problems and smoothly the day it landed.
