Thanks very much for your work, I'll test this out for myself this morning. Whats interesting, is that I 
never thought that pulse-simple would be good enough for what we want to do. I always thought that we would 
need to use the more complex pulse API to get the best latency possible. Anyway, I'm very happy to be proven 
wrong, and if this works as well as ALSA, then I'm all for it.
