Hello
I've had my griefs with pulseaudio and seen people reporting problems with it here in the forum.
BUT, wait, this will be awesome! I just got my living-room xbmc computer distribute sound though the attached living-room-speakers, but also to my office computer's speakers in another room in my house, *synchronized*.
I can't give a detailed fail-proof recipe for how to achieve this, but I followed the instructions at
http://x4.6times7.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/devlog/blog/streaming_on_ubuntu_8.04_with_pulseaudio#how_to_av oid_time_delay_between_server_and_client
and fiddled some time with the pulseaudio gui.
Pulseaudio requires a decent GUI which hides more details and makes this more smooth for the end-user. I hope this will become much better with Ubuntu 9.04 and XBMC 9.04, so I have left this here.
Pulseaudio IS the way to go.
