[OpenIndiana-discuss] pulseaudio

[Jonathan Adams]

The best alternative for light-weight sessions from Solaris was FreeNX, but
I haven't found a good Solaris NX Client, still looking.

When I get enough time I think I will try to recompile it again on hipster,
or at least try to streamline the thing to re-use the native drivers again
... I really had to kick the sh*t out of it to get it to compile last time
(2011).
