PA is a great consumer thing, and that's exactly what we need. Because noone cares about "pro" audio solutions which are a nightmare to configure.
PA goes far beyond you KDE/gnome to embedded systems with android and webos. Having different volume controls for different ergimes is very handy there.
The discussion would stop once and for all, if there would simply be a dummy package available by the repositories of all the distros who make PA a dependency. Neither the OP nor I have started this discussion on several other lists, where it was a thread some days ago. All the time there are averaged non-pro-audio users having trouble with PA.
