@João: i think both reports are about the issue that the combination of libsdl1.2debian-alsa and PulseAudio doesn't work well. making libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio default is only the proposed solution as on a standard Ubuntu desktop with PulseAudio running libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio seems the cleanest solution. and on bug 454879 all people confirmed that libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio is a already working fix.

why forcing the alsa output when we have a pulse module? or does libsdl1.2debian-alsa also cause problems without pulse? i think the problem is "only" how to adapt the packaging so that the pulse module of sdl gets only used in combination with the running pulse server and the rest of the cases get their matching modules.

but thinking about all this: the seperate packaging may be a bit to inflexible anyway and at best sdl should decide at runtime which output solution would be the sanest.
