It'd probably be easier to discuss this if you could let us know why you
don't want to use it. I have heard, from exactly one person, that sound
is stuttering, which in itself is bad and hopefully will be solved with
the glitch-free branch of PulseAudio[1]. How/When we can get that in to
11.0 when Lennart (the author) merges it I don't know.

See above.

There was a discussion on this list as well as a pattern review[2].
Nobody objected at that time.

A bit too late for 11.0 I would think.

10.3 is still available and does not contain all the latest bits :-) I
mean, what's the point of a new distro release if you don't use the
latest stuff out there? I'm guessing that you perhaps wrote that with PA
in mind but since I don't know what issues you have, I can't comment.
