When PulseAudio merges a wrapper, then the viability of apulse can be reconsidered. In the meantime, apulse is the only working solution (and personally, I have very little confidence that the PulseAudio devs will ever fix this on their end). So, apulse should absolutely exist.

The question is rather whether pulseaudio should even exist. I'm running a Xfce - based linux desktop and I am perfectly fine with alsa, for watching movies, listening to music and all that stuff. No issues whatsoever, with google chrome, firefox, even zoom. I only have to use apulse for signal-desktop, because they decided to only support pulseaudio. And for this, it works perfectly well.

So, I am very glad that apulse exists, it allows me to stay away from pulseaudio.
