f2thak, if you are implying Nokia considers pulseaudio to be closed source, I don't see how they could. It is LGPL licensed code. Though, they do develop this component in the dark, they still have to release the full source to the library on request when they release the binary. Further investigation shows that the default environment in my scratchbox install configures the package for thumb code via the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable, while the Nokia package seems to be built for 32 bit ARM which is the main reason why it is larger. I don't understand yet how this could cause functional differences, and I have not yet determined if there are other code or build environment differences.
