Answer 10

Maybe I will say not a very good thing, but remove the pulseaudio. I twisted as much as I could, but I couldn’t set up 5.1 sound with it normally, everything was constantly crackling and whistling, and there were just problems with Skype. Now I'm sitting on alsa + dmix, people still advise OSS4.
