I could work around pulse, by killing pulse, using flightgear and 
restarting pulse.  But that seems a particularly unpleasant workaround.  
And as Martin points out, pulse does bring some direct benefit to 
Flightgear when you consider also FGCOM etc..

The problem with using pulse directly from openal, I suspect is most 
likely an openal or possibly pulse problem, doing a backtrace when it 
seems to be locked indicates the execution thread is waiting somewhere 
in the pulse library.  I'll post a backtrace later anyway. 

The stuttering problem with using alsa->pulse, no idea.
