[nas] pulseaudio integration

[Dave Richards]

I'm using padsp extensively to thin clients and it's working well.  As
more and more applications move to PULSE, I'm removing the shim and
allowing the application to directly output sound.

Flash and mplayer are using native PULSE, and the GNOME desktop is using
ESOUND.
