This package appears not to support PulseAudio. I'm seeing things like this
in its ALSA code:

(where card is an integer).

There's also this nonsense comment:

That's nonsense, there's a "default" device which apps are supposed to use
by default.

Why do sound libraries which don't work with Fedora's default sound system
even pass review? And can someone please fix this? (Making this use
the "default" device by default would go a long way towards fixing this,
but of course it should also get tested because there might be other broken
assumptions lurking.)
