Pulse clarification

[nolan]

Since at least one other person was curious about this, and since it 
confused me:

It looks as if accessible installs are intended to forego pulse. I was 
confused by the presence of pulse-session in my list of processes, 
thinking that perhaps the newer versions of pulse had dramatically 
reduced latency, but it wasn't using pulse at all when I installed paman 
and friends to try connecting.

That said, I'm glad there's an easy and non-invasive way to 
disable/enable pulse. I noticed some sound glitches on my Eee using pure 
ALSA that vanish under pulse, so I'm seeing how newer versions perform. 
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the pulse/speech-dispatcher stack 
performs any better under Jaunty, so I may switch back to ALSA and just 
deal with the occasional sound studdering.
