I'm reluctant to delay a critical security update like this, which
apparently allows a compromised web site to perform remote code
execution in our graphical web browsers.  I, for one, am running
text-only for now, and am impatient to return back to the modern era.

What's the nature of the pulseaudio update?  Why is it important?

What do other people think?
