PulseAudio is a sound system for POSIX OSes, meaning that it is a proxy 
for your sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on 
your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware. 
Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing the 
sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one are 
easily achieved using a sound server.

This release splits up the former monolithic pulseaudio package into 
several subpackages, as done in the major Linux distributions:

- pulseaudio contains only the server, core modules, and configuration 
files, and therefore has fewer dependencies than in previous releases.
- pulseaudio-equalizer contains qpaeq (a PyQt GUI application) and the 
equalizer-sink module (neither were packaged in previous releases).
- pulseaudio-esound-compat contains the replacement esd(1) and the 
ESounD protocol modules.  IMPORTANT: If you are using pulseaudio via 
libesd0, you MUST install this subpackage.
- pulseaudio-module-gconf allows PulseAudio to be configured according 
to the preferences selected in the new paprefs package.
- pulseaudio-module-x11 includes components for integrating PulseAudio 
into an X session (including start-pulseaudio-x11).
- pulseaudio-module-zeroconf contains DNS-SD integration modules 
(requires avahi)
- pulseaudio-utils includes client utilities for interacting with a 
running server, such as pacat, pacmd, pactl, and padsp.

Two GUI tools have also been made available:

- paprefs is a simple GTK+/GConf configuration dialog for PulseAudio.
- pavucontrol is a simple GTK+ volume control tool (mixer).
