Steve Litt replied...

My distro offers pulseaudio. I'm saying I chose not to use Pulseaudio,
which I consider the land of a thousand mutes. There are *a lot* of
Linux users who don't use Pulseaudio.

I'm not trying to create effort for people. I'm just saying if you want
a client that works with all Linux configurations doesn't discriminate
on Linux configurations, Big Blue Button and Jitsi are the way to go.
