Thanks Mitt

We see Devuan as a system for professionals, not consumers, and that also includes audio/video professionals.

Pulseaudio will likely be eliminated from available choices, because of its poor latency and lack to support anything that is not just a desktop player or voip application. From an upstream POV I can well understand why professional software like hydrogen or ardour have very little interest in supporting pulseaudio and even if they'll do PA won't ever be the best option for those of us using all this in studio production environments.
