From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh I have no doubt it's legitimate, my concern is just that it's unmaintained

I'd take that bet, but I often am relying on packages that are significantly out of date as a professional Android developer. 2 years is mild.
There's no obvious rootkit unless the developer put it in and if it works with your version of Pulse then I wouldn't see what the issue could be. It's mostly a front end access to your Pulse where you're making and mixing digital.
Security consciousness is good but I think you can trust this one.
But I'm also just a stranger on the Internet ❤️
I'm not that anal about my security but it's a very trivial thing and if I ended up getting any of my network compromised to make a soundboard there are several people in my life who would shoot me
