I would rather say it is because of putting another audio server where
it is not needed at all. ALSA alone does its job well enough nowadays
(and if it does not, it should be fixed not wrapped with another layer).
Fortunately things have not gone too far yet and a system without
PulseAudio can still be set up (there was no such freedom in the dark
ages of ESD and ARTS).

This /sbin/init things are not that easy. We will always need some init
daemon… though I still won't chose an implementation only basing on the
fact that the idea is great. It must work and be maintained (or at least
stable as SysVinit) too.
