[pulseaudio-discuss] A few questions

[Justin Tulloss]

I was just curious if this mailing list is still active. My company is
looking to make a decision about using pulseaudio within the next 24 hours,
and we need answers to these questions before we can continue. I can, of
course, take the time to look through the code, but it seems to me that the
questions would be trivial to somebody who had worked extensively with
pulse.

Thanks!
