: example, if you're listening to music on a CD and you receive a
: sound-related event from IM client, the two applications won't have to
: queue for the use of your sound card.
: The daemon functionality was replaced with PulseAudio (PA) and the binary
: was dropped from Fedora in October 2007. However, on PA-disabled systems
: the daemon functionality was completely missing and therefore
: reintroduced to Fedora in June 2013 in form of subpackage.
: The daemon cannot run on PA-enabled systems.
