Audio is one of those things they've never figured out. There's a good "truth in graphs" about that:

For Ubuntu it's been figured out for years. I use Google Voice, play music, do audio in multiple accounts, it all just works.

Those are all very basic functions. Let me know when I can produce Pro level audio work on a Linux machine without hiccups.

JACK is the sound system of choice for that. For everything else plain ALSA works just fine.
