There are no stupid questions in the world, unless it is me who is
asking. Now, I do all this personally as a pure intellectual exercise.
This allows me to explore the marvels of Jigsaw in a bit more concrete
way. Just for my management, I justify myself by saying that I want to
have certain solutions ready before some customer asks for them :) I am
posting this kind of solutions just for he sake of those that would love
to have them working, in order to avoid that several people waste
resources on the same thing.

Yeah, in my spec file, this is all wrapped in a %{with_pulseaudio}
condition, so it is somehow easy to switch on or off depending on the
verbosity of complaining users.

Cheers
