For me, "Just Works" includes me not having to install it at all, not it being easy to set-up on LFS. Pulseaudio is pre-installed on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

ALSA is part of the kernel, it's likely been pre-installed in every Linux you have ever run. It's not a mark against it that you choose to install distros developed to use pulseaudio.

Well, that's almost what I had. It didn't come preinstalled, but it's in the package manager. I installed it, and, no sound.
