[Stk] pulseaudio backend for RtAudio

[Tristan Matthews]

Hi Gary,

This article :

http://www.linux.com/news/hardware/drivers/8100-why-you-should-care-about-pulseaudio-and-how-to-start-doing-it

makes the case for pulseaudio better than I can. Essentially, the big
advantages are that it wraps multiple audio backends and abstracts other
complex tasks such as routing audio over a network. It also has been the
default sound server on Ubuntu since 2008. Time permitting, I may be able to
do some work on this, but wanted to make sure there was interest first.

Best,
Tristan
