The beep demo experiences erratic popping artifacts on my system unless I manually turn up pulse's latency. Other software on my system, generally using pulse natively, doesn't seem to have...

I successfully reproduced the popping with pasystray reporting no clients other than the demo.

Reproduced the popping with pulse disabled (`ps aux |rg pulse` displayed nothing while sound was playing). Still hard to tell whether anything else was accessing the device; alsa empirically doesn't...

Bear in mind that the existing generally-functional alsa backend works decently on top of pulse. The question is whether we need to go to the effort of developing and maintaining...

Perhaps the oboe host should expose a platform-specific interface to take ownership of an oboe device that you can construct manually per your preferences?

+1, I'd love to be able to respond to changes in the default device. It would be especially helpful if cpal provided a way to move the callbacks between devices,...

coreaudio-sys could be made much less fragile and heavyweight by including pregenerated bindings rather than invoking bindgen.
