A good way to needlessly complicate your audio setup especially if
everything is working fine using the traditional ALSA approach.
Pulseaudio also breaks voice and sometimes all sound support in Second
Life despite claiming ESD compatibility. Pulse is not without major
show stopping drawbacks that make it unsuitable for desktop use, and
there doesn't seem to be any serious effort on part of pulse partisans
to fix the situation anytime soon. Pulseaudio is unsuitable for the
desktop, and I hope it doesn't ever make it into the default desktop
install until there's damn good reason for it to be there.
