    I got curious and put "pulse-audio" in Google and got the 10,000 
hits as usual but number 1 was for pulseaudio.org so I did that. It is a 
busy web page. I saw a tab for detailed info on pulseaudio so I went 
there. It was just another list of good things it does without any 
backup from science or engineering.

    I looked at other tabs but they seem to be the same. If your 
interested there are a lot of web pages to read :-)

    My current view is that this software needs to be removed from 
Fedora Now! It has been a total failure. If not then someone explain 
how, and why it is good. In detail.
