Just because you don't experience an issue doesn't mean it's nonexistent. A quick google search reveals that it's quite prevalent.

It's non existent in many cases, but not all. If you need real time sound, you'd use Jack, not PulseAudio.

I never said anything about PulseAudio, I said ALSA introduced delays. JACK uses ALSA the same as PulseAudio.

In any case, it's the game developer's choice and not mine. Yet another problem Linux has for developers is that there isn't always a clear choice and the flavor of the day may not be the best choice long term. That's why frameworks like Qt and Unity are so prevalent because they abstract a lot of the crap away.
