Last time I looked at this, there were a few things that the plugin needed from the moving-plugins checklist before it could move. 

Docs was one of the ones that I made a brief start on.

The other big point of contention is whether the PulseAudio API is going to change significantly still. After LCA, this seems likely, but whether the existing API also remains is unknown yet. If there are going to be API breakages, then it seems to me that the plugin is better staying in the Pulse SVN where new releases can be better synchronised with the PulseAudio server's releases.

Fair enough, I guess it's best to wait for Lennart to comment. If the changes to be made are going to be completely incompatible, then there's always restricting the sink to PulseAudio versions in between 2 big API changes.

        Add pulseaudio GStreamer element from gst-pulse. Development will
        continue here instead of pulseaudio SVN. Fixes bug #400679.
        Only changes over gst-pulse SVN are added copyright to the top of
        files and coding style changes.
