I don't use PulseAudio and I'm on Linux. I do so for the same reason that I 
used aKode on KDE 3.5 instead of aRts. It's funny that it's not considered 
completely insane for Linux users to use lightweight programs in other 
instances where an entire order-of-magnitude more features is not desired 
(e.g. lighttpd vs. httpd, the various 'light' window managers, etc.). What is 
it exactly about not using PA when I don't need positional audio or network 
sound streaming over a home network that I don't have that makes *me* the 
stick in the mud?

I'd like to think I'd been a completely silent minority... it's looking as if 
I'll need to change that soon.
