Yeah it's pretty much useless without paprefs..

It's basically a generic module loader. paprefs writes quite generic
keys into gconf which specify which modules and their arguments. paprefs
has the specific "knowledge" of the modules and writes the keys accordingly.

I intend to deprecate this at some point and replace it with a generic
module loader API in PA itself. Then I'll merge paprefs into pavucontrol
and/or other DE specific UIs
