This issue with voice and pulseaudio is present in the 32bit build as
well. For me, if I enable voice, the pulse server crashes after a short
time resulting in an incredible racket (looping sample). Restarting
pulse cures it, but then the client will lose sound until I restart it
too. So voice is completely unusable on machines that are using
pulseaudio right now. BTW, most modern distros are changing over to
pulseaudio, so it would help to actually support it.
