   OSS worked, but limited in some ways.  ALSA generally works well for my needs.    
   JACK looks good, but I've never actually used it, even though it's been around   
   for donkeys years.

   I don't have a need for everything to try starting all at once, and on spinning   
   metal, that can sometimes take longer (*cough* Windows *cough).  The thing I do   
   like about SystemV is that the login prompt comes up after everything has   
   started.   
      
   But as I said in the last message, I haven't had any issues with systemd.
