PulseAudio backend

Hello,

Is there any plan on implementing a PulseAudio backend in OpenAL-Soft? PulseAudio is going to be the default sound mixer daemon on multiple Linux distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, ...). If OpenAL use ALSA, then all other applications using PulseAudio can't play sound and vice versa.

Someone has already started an implementation at: http://www.lastlog.de/wiki/index.php/Pulseaudio

I don't have or use PulseAudio, so I can't make a backend for it. I, personally, don't plan on making a PulseAudio backend regardless, however if the aforementioned implementation gets to a clean, useable, and stable state, I'll likely include it. Work on it seems to be going slow, though.
