I know pulse audio still sucks. It's ok for beeps and pops. and other system sounds.. You can even have it handle your music player.. but once you get to a REAL game, it completely sucks.
The new builds of the game I have are using the latest OpenALSoft openal implementation which has pulseaudio support. However on my AMD 2100+ system, the sound went to crap (popping and crackling and all that fun stuff). So... I'm working up some utilities and documentation on "configuring" openal to work better and work around pulse audio.
