I'd really like it if we just agreed that in general, yeah, we want
Pulseaudio support. I used to spend all sorts of time fighting my audio
setup, being careful on what application opened first so I could be sure
which one grabbed control of Alsa. I hadn't had this problem in a few
years, and it was so nice not to worry about it, but on Guix I've had
some times where I have again... eg playing audio/video in Icecat
seems not to use it for whatever reason, and it's a bummer, because then
I have to be careful about when I start rhythmbox or whatever.
I'd love to mostly not worry/think about audio issues again!
