I'm not complaining, I dislike steps into wrong directions.
1. I will not get in contact with pulseaudio upstream and argue related
to anything.
2. I build dummy packages nearly a decade ago, when it was introduced
to Linux and never suffered from pulseaudio. For the OP doing
something like this is seemingly what I called a "dirty hack", for me
it's a clean workaround.
3. For almost everything pro-audio related I anyway migrated from Linux
to Apple and I don't care much about desktop audio.
The migration happened, because the advantages of FLOSS in some
domains make way for the same disadvantages, that we experiences with
software for proprietary operating systems, but without providing
the advantages of those proprietary operating systems.
4. Likely the near future for Linux audio will be PipeWire or something
similar. The toy pulseaudio, but even the pro-audio sound server
jack likely will become obsolete for several reasons. It probably
will have some impact on FreeBSD, too.
