Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Triaged

Bug description:
After Bug #436792 was resolved, a number of people have had to add 

export EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1

(either to their launch command or to their .bashrc) in order to get audio to work correctly.  
Sasa Jovic reported that he was running ubuntu (with gnome) with installed mythtv on top.

I noticed this problem initially because I use pulseaudio on my Myth machine to digitally route audio from my home computers to my living room speakers. (That's kind of a killer app, actually.) If Myth is allowed to suspend PA on startup, audio players elsewhere in the home hang when trying to play through the Myth box.

export EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1 works beautifully for me so far. MythTV and emulators (mess,mame,zsnes,mednafen) all seem to work when set to use OSS. PA seems to pick up their audio without needing padsp.
