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."

By the way, you don't need floating point to mix audio, you just add samples together. You also don't need floating point to resample audio, fixed point works better (and you can even do cubic interpolation almost for free in fixed point by making a delta resampling table). In any case, i still believe alsa should be declared dead. Most of it usage in proaudio was for sequencers and synthesizers, as a (working like crap) midi layer over low latency jack. However, jack api now includes frame-accurate midi, making alsa api obsolete.
Please, deprecate ALSA!!
