I got that, but you missed the context of the discussion: both victor

an easy one, and I expressed my concern about availability of
pulseaudio in my case (extremely limited audio needs, but available on
many distributions, potentially quite old).

So it does not look like pulseaudio is that great if you want to
support various linux and have very little needs for audio.
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
*infrastructure* that supports existing APIs transparently.
