A Fedora user takes a brief look at what he considers 13 of the prime features in the upcoming Fedora 10 release on end of November. "Fedora has many a projects finished or in the queue for Fedora 10. It is a mammoth and obviously unimportant to take all of them out here. So I have sorted some to best of your interests. If you are a developer, then don't worry. You have your goodie too."

No it hasn't. They claim portability on their website, yet trying to actually compile the source for systems other than Linux will fail because assumptions for Linux are made in code, code snippets that simply would need #if-def'ing, yet aren't.
Defending PA again:) Although PulseAudio developer was targetting cross-platform support, he is a Red Hat employee now and obviously doesn't spend time on ports. However he suggests to application developers against using Pulse API directly and promised to provide a cross-platform API that will be sound system agnostic.

You don't honestly expect this thing to be properly cross-platform, when the developer's carrying mantras a la "Slowlaris" and "BSD is dead" around. And I don't consider Windows as cross-platform option, since it is the last operating system on a long list that'd need something like PulseAudio.
