Sounds neat! (disclaimer: i haven't used PA on Arch, only on Ubuntu in 
the past.)  Question: OK this would make it easy to transition *to* a 
PulseAudio based system, but suppose I later decide I don't like it-- is 
it easy to transition back to a non-PA system?(wait, it's trivial if 
those packages don't conflict with 'sdl' etc. -- do they?)

also I wonder why the group name to be "pulse" and not "pulseaudio".
