There's very little point in using PA on top of CoreAudio. In fact, PA's original developer specifically did not want ANY applications (or even libraries) to use the PA API directly. Sadly, many developers have ignored this (Skype being one of the most notable examples). You'd be much better off making Phonon or even GStreamer work on CoreAudio, the latter actually offering functionality that isn't already present in CoreAudio. I've worked in both worlds for over a decade, and I can't see any reason to use PA on OS X. --p
