Lennart, who develops PulseAudio, recently spoke about it at
linux.conf.au:

  http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2007/video/talks/211.ogg

(disclaimer, I don't know what the video quality is like)

He speaks about what PulseAudio can do, why you'd chose it over
technology X and how it might integrate with specific problem domain
technologies, such as Jack. Might clear some things up.
