Apparently, a Sound BOF took place at GUADEC 2006
<http://guadec.org/GUADEC2006>. Slides that were presented:

It seems that PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/>, formerly known as
Polypaudio, could be (is?) GNOME's new audio server of choice replacing esd.
Great. One of the bullet points on the "Future directions" slide is
"Professional audio?". So it was not designed for professional use from
the ground up.
If Apple can design a single sound system that's usable for desktop toys
AND pro audio why can't we?
