Well, I have to admit it, y'all were absolutely right. Pulse, Port, and
aRts are drastic wastes of CPU and configuration time. I have been
using Sabayon on my desktop for a while now (shockingly stable), and it
uses a direct-to-ALSA approach for all sound, with much better results.
It required a bit of text-file configuration to get the USB speakers
working properly, but the results are clearly very good.
