Linux PulseAudio 0.9.15 has been released with many new features. Phoronix covers the changes: "PulseAudio 0.9.15 introduces native support of Bluetooth audio devices using BlueZ, Apple Airport Express support, flat volume support (similar to Vista's audio controls), on-the-fly reconfiguration of audio devices, and native support for 24-bit samples. The on-the-fly reconfiguration of audio devices is great and as a result there is now proper S/PDIF support. With the release of PulseAudio 0.9.15 also comes an update to the PulseAudio Volume Control program. The PulseAudio Volume Control 0.9.8 update brings support for configuring sound card profiles and various other updates."

ibex was plagued by pulseaudio bugs, with reports of it randomly freezing on a variety of soundcards (including mine). its inclusion in ubuntu so early was a bad idea..
also, why? didn't we have already alsa/dmix? other unixes use 4front OSS, which already does (much much better) in-driver multiple stream mixing...
