Yes, and such a solution needs cooperation with the pulseaudio maintainers anyway, we can't tinker something without synchronization. > I'm not sure removing PulseAudio is a good idea.

Sure, I'm really glad to see things happening, thanks a lot to the contributors :D I was just thinking about accessibility in general, AIUI the problem is generally known since quite a long time, and AFAIK some discussions happened somewhere on some pulseaudio lists but without actual conclusions and solutions, while this does not seem to be a so technical issue like Debian packaging is, so a lot of people could have led the discussion.
