Most applications using sound still work without pulseaudio via alsa
directly, pa just puts itself between the two and offers very easy
control (volume, network sharing etc).

So even while e.g. banshee is playing and pa dies, music keeps playing.

AFAIK it is not only for GNOME, it will work no matter what DE you are
running, so far we have ported only gnome specific applications so it
might seem that way.

Here is kde-settings-pulseaudio src rpm from fedora, KDE devs would be
able to understand it more:
