While it is possible to use bluetooth devices with ALSA, there is no good UI for managing this easily, and the interface itslf is clunky. PulseAudio elps a lot by talking directly to bluez, the support layer for bluetooth. It is then very easy to use bluetooth devices from a user perspective, with a good UI to manage things.

Ditto.
PulseAudio developers and maintainers maintain (oops) that sound
skipping now is almost always caused be alsa driver issues and these
will be fleshed out - and I tend to agree.
I used to be a big PA hater, but now it's working beautifully for all
but one machine I've tried. (And bluetooth support is fantastic)
Will we just stop this thread, please?

Best regards,
