I have to second what Janina said here. Your conclusion would be valid
if we were talking about m$ windows. In that world, if you want to
keep using windows, you have to go with the wave of the
future. However, we're talking about GNU/Linux here, where the end
user is supposed to be in control. If I don't want pulse on my system,
then I shouldn't be made to use it, just because I want to use gnome
for example. That's the windows way, not the linux way as far as I
figure anyway.

I have six machines (majority virtual) running wheezy here since end
of August. I honestly can't say that something doesn't work in
wheezy. Some things are different than they were in squeeze, but they
still work once you get used to the changes (E.G. gnome3).
