I notice that the package Miry currently has up is using the OSS sound plugin for the squeakvm (with a pulse wrapper if pulse is detected). Unfortunately, sound recording doesn't work and playback is very choppy on my system when using the OSS plugin. I believe the ALSA plugin has similar problems.

I believe the pulse plugin will work well on 32 bit systems, but currently seg faults on 64 bit.

In any case - does Debian use pulse? What would be the preferred sound solution for Debian, and is it likely to be compatible with Ubuntu?
