	While I'm not a PulseAudio user myself, some of those I know use
	it, so I'm somewhat interested in that, too.

	(Thanks to Darac Marjal for his hints on P-A debugging elsewhere
	in this thread, BTW.)

	I remember playing with both GNOME and KDE back in 2000 or so.
	Honestly, I still don't get what advantages do they give to me
	over the good old “bunch of X applications” approach.

	(Though I've discovered somewhat recently that there're a few
	interesting Qt-based applications in Debian.  Previously,
	anything depending on Qt was out of consideration for me.)
