On: Hydrogen – An advanced drum machine for Linux

Pulse/alsa/jack shenanigans make audio production the only thing I still use MacOS for.

Pulseaudio should not even be involved, as the program do not require it. But then it keeps inserting itself into the "conversation" by hijacking any connection to and from Alsa...

If it's doing that, you might want to check your ~/.asoundrc, which might be specifying pulse as the default ALSA device.

Do you use an audio interface? What have you found is supported well by Linux? Saffire Pro 24 + Addictive Drums + Logic is what is really keeping me tied to macOS at home.
