To answer Greg: it is practically impossible to expect that every user that tries the distribution and has a problem reports it on bugzilla. Many simply search for help on IRC or on forums, and if they can't fix their problem, they simply look elsewhere. It is quite dangerous to ignore their feedback however, even if not formally done on bugzilla, because it simply helps to alienate users.
It is also quite dangerous to take that feedback as somehow correlating to how well pulseaudio works. Remember, you never hear from the hundreds of thousands of users where audio works for them :)
very doubtfull
People in IRC and forums can give this kind of "collective feedback", which is not helpful to fix bugs, I know, but it has to be accounted for when you decide to push something inside the distribution.
But you are trying to push something out of the distro, with no replacement. That's not very constructive. Providing summaries of problems from these reports to bugzilla would be constructive, and allow those problems to get fixed.

you want to use it then use it but dont try to foce something that is broken and borked on those of us that dont want it give us the choice build the packages that allow us to choose PA or not to PA very simple i do not know just why you are making such a big deal of it , PA is a bolt on goodie or baddie whichever way you look at it so make it chooseable and do NOT build packages that force dependances on other borked packages . If the GTk clan want PA there welcome but dont force it on us KDE does NOT need it so should not be forced to use it I do not normally get involved in these debates but this is one where you need to be forced to see sense by fair means or foul Pete .
