Lennart Poettering, creator of open source sound server PulseAudio, was recently interviewed at this year's Linux Plumbers Conference. In this Q&A he details the latest PulseAudio developments and addresses some of PA's critics. Thanks to PulseAudio, the Linux audio experience is becoming more context-aware. For example, if a video is running in one application the system should now automatically reduce the volume of everything else and increase it when the video is finished.

Ubuntu (8.04?, 8.10, 9.04) are using PulseAudio.
In 8.10, I could only have sound from one application at a time. 9.04 is mostly working*.

that I haven't had any audio problems in Linux since forever. Whatever defaults Ubuntu is using (PA? dmix? don't know, don't care) works just great for me.
