Development of pulseaudio is certainly a bit of a linux-focused affair.

There is already some FreeBSD specific code in PulseAudio upstream. Especially considering some changes required to make pulse run on freebsd and netbsd are quite similar, I think it makes sense to submit your patches. > -- > Andriy Gapon Maarten
