I think a lot of the recommendations re pulse in this regard stem from 
poor combinations.

IMO, xine and pulse do not play all that well together, where as 
gstreamer and pulse play very nicely together. While it's not going to 
hold true for everyone, I get much better sound, no skips and no blips 
when using gstreamer+pulse which is not true with xine+pulse (it's not 
terrible and it does work for the most part, just not a smoothly as with 
gstreamer).

So if a general recommendation is "use the xine backend", I can see it 
following that "remove pulse" is also a recommendation.

I look forward to the day when the gstreamer backend is made to kick 
ass, and I finally get around to getting the necessary backend logic 
into pulse to make the system settings GUI for a system running on top 
of pulse kick ass (after I hack that too).

One day it will work perfectly! (for me right now It actually works very 
well using gstreamer+pulse, but the whole UI in system settings is 
totally crippled and pointless due to this setup and everyone's systems 
are different which is what makes this so much fun! When I'm done the UI 
in system settings will look much the same as it does now for a 
non-pulse setup which should keep people happy).
