    First, Pulseaudio sucked for a long time but it's finally usable as of the last release.

    Second, what the fuck are you on about proprietary software not respecting you. Access to other people's work to do as you see fit isn't a human right, a right as a citizen or a computer user. Demanding that you be given the right to redistribute, modify, resell, etc. their software is more about *you* being disrespectful about how you treat other people's property.

    Also, the apps never get "root-level access" unless you execute them with super user privileges.
