As Lennart tried to make reasonably clear, the primary goal of
PulseAudio is NOT to act as a new API, but to act as a new
*infrastructure* that supports existing APIs transparently.
I am sure that he would be happy if it eventually takes over the world
and everybody writes apps using its API, but that doesn't appear to be
the goal right now.
