    Well, being low level is exactly what lets to extract better performance, lower latency and other good stuff.

      There’s still a fine line to draw between usability and performance

      ALSA is too low level for musicians to reasonably understand

      Having something like PipeWire to make it easier to configure isn’t a bad thing
