Yep, I didn't remove Pierre's original way of doing passthrough -- just
set PA_STREAM_PASSTHROUGH on your stream flags (or paplay --passthrough
--raw) and you should be reusing all the passthrough infrastructure that
makes sure we don't touch the audio on the way out. Note that I don't
actually test/use this myself.
