Out of curiousity, will your fixes work for XP and Vista as well? (I 
remember other users on the list complaining about slow startup; my 
attempts to run PyHoca-GUI failed completely.)

This is something Alex and I discussed just yesterday. :-D  Funny 
coincidence.  Following his suggestion, I already experimented with it 
(it is possible to switch between old and new pulseaudio during a 
running session, as long as there's no application that wants to play 
sound at the moment you're switching) and it seems to work a lot better 
(no more freezes/crashes when playing long youtube videos, etc.).

It would be nice if Alex could provide us with a timeframe - if it will 
take a while and there's sufficient interest on the list, I could try to 
write a wrapper that slaps the new pulseaudio over the old one, per 
x2goclient-call, or at least publish the steps I used for testing so 
more experienced users can try it manually.
