Remember that there are two different things involved in "use
PulseAudio".  One is to use PulseAudio as default sound server for
Gnome, Gstreamer, and KDE replacing esd and arts.  I think everyone
agrees that this is a good thing.

The other is to use it for OSS and ALSA.  It sounds like this is where
there are problems with programs like Flash that use sound hardware
directly.  Personally, if the software redirection is not going to
work properly with all programs, then it shouldn't be the default.  If
using pulseaudio as software mixer for ALSA works better than dmix, it
can do that job.
