...I'm sorry that this won't add anything to the conversation, but Holy CRAP Linux confuses me.'

For all the Linux users sake, I hope this can get fixed eventually.

So do I, but unfortunately, it's a mess that even we are powerless over.  Linux sound systems come in 3 main flavours: ALSA, OSS and PulseAudio.  It's just really hard to know which of the three flavours a program has been written to take advantage of.  So the only "fix" we have is just to make sure the operating system provides all the big sound systems and just hope for the best.

I read your last line as meaning "For all Linux users sake, I hope [Holy CRAP Linux confuses me] can get fixed eventually."

Well, I can't make heads or tails of all this Linux jargon

To further not add anything to this conversation: Pie is not simple.

Also, nice link.
