PulseAudio is a sound system for POSIX OSes, meaning that it is a proxy for your sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware. Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one are easily achieved using a sound server.

This release splits up the former monolithic pulseaudio package into several subpackages, as done in the major Linux distributions:

- pulseaudio contains only the server, core modules, and configuration files, and therefore has fewer dependencies than in previous releases. - pulseaudio-equalizer contains qpaeq (a PyQt GUI application) and the equalizer-sink module (neither were packaged in previous releases). - pulseaudio-esound-compat contains the replacement esd(1) and the ESounD protocol modules. IMPORTANT: If you are using pulseaudio via libesd0, you MUST install this subpackage. - pulseaudio-module-gconf allows PulseAudio to be configured according to the preferences selected in the new paprefs package. - pulseaudio-module-x11 includes components for integrating PulseAudio into an X session (including start-pulseaudio-x11). - pulseaudio-module-zeroconf contains DNS-SD integration modules (requires avahi) - pulseaudio-utils includes client utilities for interacting with a running server, such as pacat, pacmd, pactl, and padsp.

Two GUI tools have also been made available:

- paprefs is a simple GTK+/GConf configuration dialog for PulseAudio.
- pavucontrol is a simple GTK+ volume control tool (mixer).
