Yeah I am surprised no ones mentioned pulseaudio yet (or Ive missed it)
My own experience: About 3-4 years ago it was so bad I switched from ubuntu
to debian.
In all fairness now
- debian has also started using pulse like it or not
- ubuntu is more well behaved. Not perfect but manageable
Note I am hardly in the pro-audio category. Type a few scores in musescore
and check them out is about as pro as I get.
