    Yes it is a huge problem and the principle of pules audio is to 
digitize the audio at about 4 times the audio range and then detect it 
at the place your going to use it. There are some fancy things you can 
do with digitized audio.

    But your right. It is usual on Linux that your trying to just get 
ANY AUDIO :-)
