 Hello,

 The greatly polished and cleaned-up final version of the patch has been
attached to that bugzilla ticket -
	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82154

 It's very compact now - it doesn't have any duplicate code. 
 Now it includes infrastructure for proxying sound to other sound servers
such as NAS and others - if one wants to implement it - feel free to ask for
advices.

 What do you think about this patch now?

 Best regards,
