I don't think the latency introduced by pulse is a big problem.  Pulse, 
especially in its early days, had its warts, but I find its performance 
to be acceptable now.  I've used pulse for VoIP and the latency is fine. 
 Pulse obviously isn't the only solution, but it's a viable option and 
important those of us on systems that use it.
