If I understand correctly, this project exists and is called SALSA
(ironically, another ALSA library for embedded environment exists,
with the same name). see
http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1887

IMHO, I would rather just drop the mandatory GNOME esound dependency
instead of trying to add PulseAudio as a dependency for 2.22. See
live.gnome.org/PulseAudio.

The idea of GSmartMix SoC project is not dead.. In some ways, it
exists in PulseAudio, but with some noticeable differences. There are
just other things to do in other places before that really happen.
