nixpkgs/modules/config/pulseaudio.nix
Eelco Dolstra 7bdaedb465 * Add a module to enable PulseAudio. It causes all ALSA applications
to be rerouted to PulseAudio.

  Note that this is distinct from the already existing module
  ‘services/audio/pulseaudio.nix’ that provides a system-wide
  PulseAudio daemon, which is usually not what you want.
