I think that they are or have.

Do you know why it broke?

Sound systems can break for a million reasons.  Some deep, some shallow.

All change has a chance of breaking things.  In theory, this change has a 
low chance.

If you care, try a distro that has made the transition and see how it 
works.  Then report any errors.

I think Fedora has switched.  If you test the current Fedora 40 Beta 
Release, the maintainers should be particularly interested in problem 
reports. Here's an old page about the transition:
