Yes, it is necessary. EsounD causes subtle bugs in systems where it's |
| 14 |
installed, and there's no point testing for it since it has been |
| 15 |
bitrotting for ages. |

Actually, you don't need netcat or pulse for audio streaming. You can |
| 22 |
use any streaming program (gst-launch, icecast, etc) to do that. |

Pulseaudio makes it really easy by exporting individual streams for |
| 25 |
each application, which allows easy management. EsounD has no |
| 26 |
advantages over icecast. |
