Why is audio/pulseaudio so far behind current version?

[Thomas Mueller]

Why is audio/pulseaudio, at 0.9.23, so far behind the current version, 4.0?

NetBSD pkgsrc is at version 2.1.

Might there be something compatible with Linux but not FreeBSD?

It sticks out annoyingly when I get all those error messages spewed out on the console and captured in /var/log/messages.

But it does not crash the system.

This is an excerpt:
