+I agree sound issues can be very annoying for Desktop Linux users to 
+deal with or try and deal with, especially for the less technical.  
+Sound is also one of those area's where people generally expect it to 
+just work on their computer.
+
+Newer is not always better, but going by what Colin typed, Pulseaudio 
+2.0 will be quite a bit better than previous versions.
+
+Since Colin works on Pulseaudio upstream, but is also the maintainer for 
+Mageia, and it seems has provided good enough reasons for Mageia 2 to 
+have it, I think yes let's have it in Mageia 2 :).
+
+Also the previous version can be reverted to before the release 
+candidate of Mageia 2 quite easily it seems going by the log of the 
+earlier council meeting:
