Yes, that idea came to me, too, and may be a valid fix for this bug
(which is still open), BUT it's definitely out of scope for the Jessie
release. I've also discussed that with Niels of the Release Team and
he agrees that anything else than a documentation update is out of
scope that close to the release.

No, it wouldn't. The fix I'm imagining would be a wrapper script which
does the following:
* Checking if it runs under X and PulseAudio is active.
* If so, use the above mention commandline.
* Else just start bb normaly.
That would not need any additional dependencies as far as I can see.
