Works good on Kubuntu 11.10 Beta 2
Just installed Kubuntu Oneiric (installing over Chakra, which doesn't support PA) and Pulse Audio is working fine! I just checked and my microphone works. Also, Kubuntu provides a package for an alternative volume control called Veromix (which lets you set the volume of multiple programs). I still have KMix in the background so my volume knob (or rocker or whatever it is called) still works on my laptop.
Seems like the decision to move to PulseAudio is working out... but I can't really find a reason to be able to control multiple streams of sound. I'm not going to have a song playing in Amarok while watching a YouTube video! So, what is the real world application of PA?
