PulseAudio

Any plans to utilize PulseAudio like other distributions are or will be
doing?

Pulseaudio is a drop in replacement for esd, supports alsa and oss
streams, and has some features that alsa/dmix doesn't have.

The only app I've not been able to get working with pulseaudio is mythtv
(bug submitted here: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/94 ).

Here's a nice presentation about linux audio and some of the advantages
pulseaudio has:

I think it would be great that if on a default suse install all the
sounds from the major apps just worked, even on my crappy one channel
soundcard.  PulseAudio seems to be a nice solution for this, and enables
some cool features (remote playback, synchronized audio over a lan
connection, per application persistent volume settings, etc...)
