However, doing so (writing apps using his API) is
dead easy.

As Lennart tried to make reasonably clear, the primary goal of
PulseAudio is NOT to act as a new API, but to act as a new

I am sure that he would be happy if it eventually takes over the world
and everybody writes apps using its API, but that doesn't appear to be
the goal right now.

http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev Ubuntu + Fedora would make up a decent percentage
of new linux
installations.
Yes, but Ubuntu + Fedora >> Ubuntu 8.04 + Fedora 9.
Also, I guess it depends on how you upgrade, because my workstation is
8.04, which is upgraded every year or so for 2 years and a half now,
and I don't have pulseaudio. One of the package I wan't to add sound
support for is for science mostly, and many people are still using
Ubuntu Dapper, Fedora 3, etc...
So it does not look like pulseaudio is that great if you want to
support various linux and have very little needs for audio.
