What exactly about Pulseaudio do you think makes it "spyware?" The
fact that it supports remote connections? I hope you're not using
X11...
Obviously you do need to use a secure configuration so that random
hosts aren't tapping your microphone, but it would be news to me if
this was allowed in the default configuration (and certainly a bug
that should be fixed on Gentoo).
I never bothered to migrate to pulseaudio for years, but started
having random issues when logging into multiple X11 sessions from
multiple users (probably a console permissions thing). Moving to
pulse fixed that, and was surprisingly simple. While many probably
don't need its features it makes a lot of sense to me...
