Hi,

I believe that it could be useful to change the default output plugin 
for audacious from "ALSA" to "PulseAudio". Doing this could help new 
users avoid bug 226631 in launchpad (see discussion in that bug):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/226631

Audacious has supported pulseaudio output since 1.2.0 and on the 
PulseAudio webpage their developers recommend using the PulseAudio 
output plugin instead of the ALSA one for boxes which have PulseAudio:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup

I don't know of any reason why ALSA would be a better option for the 
output plugin in audacious.

Please reply to all if you have any questions, since I'm not subscribed 
to this e-mail list. Thank you.



Regards,
Martin
