I've been using pulseaudio for several years now on Lenny. I need it
for sound in LTSP.
Anyway, there's a package called pulseaudio-esound-compat that you might
want to install. It allows an with no native pulseaudio support to
interface w/ the pulseaudio system.
By the way, I use Ekiga and it works. Although I'm not 100% sure if
other apps can use the audio system at the same time as Ekiga (never
tried it).
