Pulse audio

[Lukas Hejtmanek]

Hello,

why there is now hard-coded pulse audio in Ubuntu/Karmic? 

There seem to be many users not willing to use PA at all:

What are benefits for ordinary users? No, ordinary user really does not want
to send audio through the network. Ordinary user really does not want PA
process to eat about 3-5% CPU time (mainly when running on batteries).
