Haven't had to do it but can't see where that can't be done with ALSA along with the existing hotplug/dbus/udev/blah. Streaming sound over the network has been in ESD (and NAS) for over a decade. Moving a playing stream between them without a glitch is just gravy. If it works it is of course a handy thing to have but if the price is the whole desktop locking up even once a month it's outta there. Stability is far more important. > Browser plugins are a constant source of security issues. Isolating them > via nspluginwrapper and SELinux definitely does serve a real purpose. A real purpose, but for me[1] the potential downside of losing SELinux is worth about the ten minutes I suggested Googling for an answer. Thankfully the SELinux troubleshooter now solves most problems. Life is just too short to spend hours feeding SELinux, Pulseaudio or Networkmanager's seemingly never ending brokenness. When they work, great. And someday they might 'Just Work'. But for now when they break turn em off and get on with life. The system works fine without all of em unless you are on a laptop and need NM to get encrypted access points to work.
