IMO, it'd be great if we had consistency. I guess the problem might be detecting what's installed. Either the sound client programs need to say "If Pulse is installed use it, else use ALSA, else use OSS, else use ..." or Pulse needs to say "upon installation, delve into the configuration of these programs and change their default sound API". Technically, it's a touch difficult.
