To fix bug #688272, PulseAudio started depending on 
pulseaudio-module-raop. I'm proposing reverting to the earlier state, 
for these reasons:

* It has already caused these bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/742281 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/743073

* According to coling it gives "choppy" sounds

* It is not recommended by upstream:

<diwic>	coling, as a downstream disto manager, do you recommend we 
enable this module in it's current state (in 0.9.22)?
<diwic>	i e the RAOP module
<coling> diwic, what do you mean by "enable"?
<coling> diwic, IIRC it's not enabled by default. You have to turn it on 
in paprefs.
<diwic>	coling, as in loading module-raop-discover.so in 
/etc/pulse/default.pa ?
<coling> diwic, no,
<coling> diwic, but I wouldn't do that even if the module was nicer.
<coling> diwic, it's a paprefs thing, not a default.pa thing - just like 
RTP and network protocol.
<diwic> coling, ok, seems it was recently enabled due to a user request
<coling	diwic, you mean hacked into default.pa?
<diwic>	coling, yup
<coling> Weird.
<coling> If anything, just tweak the gconf schema, rather than default.pa :)
<coling> But I defo wouldn't for ROAP anyway. It's not a very "good 
citizen" as it'll hog the airport and not let any other machine use it.
<coling> One day that will be fixed :)
