Out of curiosity, and because I haven't switched to Natty yet, are these bugs 
fixed?:
- In Maverick, PA doesn't seem to be properly supported by xine, which leads
  to all kinds of crashes if I need to switch audio channels, and a rather
  nasty audio delay when pausing.
- In every other app I tried, PA caused a slight audio delay that was
  immediately gone upon its removal.
