Ok, question. The reason I ask this rather than just try it is that this is both mine and my girlfriend's production machine. It is actually the only one we have between us and I would hate to cause a disaster.
If this /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf file is removed allowing the use of alsa directly rather than using pulse, is it possible to purge the pulseaudio package, reconfigure whatever needs reconfiguring and run a pure alsa setup? If it is possible to do this, I need to know the following: 1. If you remove the pulseaudio package, what kinds of dpkg-reconfiguring will have to be done to get orca and speakup back up and running? 2. Can all this be done without losing speech? I have no braille display? 3. What packages would have to be reconfigured to make this possible? When I installed my debian testing system, I just installed debian desktop environment from the netinst image and it pulled in all this stuff from the repositories. I really did not want to have pulseaudio on here, but the installed dragged it in. I don't know what kinds of dependencies were set up and what would have to be changed, but, if it is not going to bust this machine, I would like to change over to pure alsa. This really opens the door to a great possibility. That is the possibility of having a pure alsa setup like I wanted, hopefully, and prayerfully, without losing functionality.
