[mythtv] No Start with Pulse Audio (Changeset 20310)

Hello,
	
I just updated myth installs (6 machines) to the latest trunk variant.
The SVN pull included the changeset 20310 which disables starting if
pulse audio is found.  While I fully understand the reasons for not
wanting pulse audio running, completely failing to start mythfrontend
seems like a fairly harsh way to handle it.  I would much rather see a
warning printed then actually making what was a running system suddenly
not run.

Haivng the sources for it, but I am not sure it is quite as simple as it
looks, and I would rather not break things.  Is there someone else who
can either convince me that stopping it from starting is the right thing
to do or quickly change  trunk/mythtv/programs/mythtv/main.cpp around
line 83.  [Would it really be as simple as commenting out line 83?]
        77 int main (..)
        78 {
	79   if (IsPulseAudiRunning())
        80   {
        ...
        83      return GENERIC_EXIT_NOT_OK;
        84   }
