In fact I thought it was so wonderful how you could hear multiple applications at the same time!

That was possible with ALSA and the "dmix" plugin years before pulseaudio came out.

    Alright. Nothing I knew about at the time.

    Still it worked really well for me, and the experience I have is basically that a working system (pulse) was replaced by another (pipe). Must've been lucky.

    Ah, so they blamed pulse for driver and firmware bugs? I guess that happens easily.
