Yes, I think we should use PulseAudio consistently.

We should probably write this kind of choices somewhere, maybe under
“Packaging Guidelines”.  Any volunteer?

BTW, I ran into some trouble anabling cursynth's pulseaudio support and
have contacted the developers, but haven't heard back yet.  Would it be
alright to push this patch in the meantime?

Yes, makes sense, with a comment about that.
