Just noticed PulseAudio was added to BLFS, and curious about it.

noted that PulseAudio was in BLFS, and I was curious if anyone's
experimented with a pulseaudio system.

I usually prefer to keep my system simple.  alsa only.  and I was
curious what it brings to the table.

I have been thinking it may be neat having the ability to send audio
to any other computer (speakers in the living room perhaps)  My
understanding is that pulseaudio is a network based sound system,
where you have multiple input's (programs or actual inputs) and
multiple outputs (multiple soundcards, locally or network).

I wonder how wrong I am the above...

Either way,  never ever did install the sound daemons before, and just
curious how it works, and what benefits it offers.

Never used gnome/kde, other then experimenting with KDE4's eye candy a
few years back.

just simple openbox, lxdepanel, xorg.  usually add on firefox, urxvt,
gimp, blender, qemu, openoffice, and xine.

I imagine, just like my experiments with KDE4, I'll find it has little
benefit for my use.  Also worried about the extra bloat it'll add to
my system.
