getting new upstream versions with fixes)

Right. But if we ask this at the end, what would you answer? That we are
too late to ask for such a change, which, as you said, GNOME depends on
quite a lot. So, I think this is the right time to think to it and
discuss about it.

Oh, I'm happy to keep an option on disabling it at the end. I just don't
see how disabling it now will help us move forward...

An option to disable PA and switch to other backend has definitely
some merits, especially from the testing and debugging POV.
When you have some audio problems, you can test by switching the
underlying subsystem to check where the problem is in.

This is already available in yast2 sound - under "_Other" - "PulseAudio
_Configuration"

But does this really work for GNOME?
I.e. after setting it in YaST, GNOME won't use PA any more?
