Running wheezy - kde plasma desktop
I want to get rid of pulseaudio. I almost never even use sound in
linux and I see it always chugging away at 5-8 % cpu. That seems a
bit extreme some how.
But anyway I don't need it.
aptitude remove pulseaudio
Offers what appear to be pretty ridiculous solutions.
Things like uninstalling gnome-core. Isn't that a bit dramatic just
to get rid of pulseaudio?
Remove the following packages
1) gnome-accessibility
2) gnome-core
3) libcanberra-pulse
4) pulseaudio-esound-compat
5) pulseaudio-module-x11
6) task-gnome-desktop
Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
7) gnome-settings-daemon recommends pulseaudio
8) speech-dispatcher recommends pulseaudio
9) task-desktop recommends task-gnome-desktop | task-kde-desktop |
task-lxde
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
When I say `n' I get another rather dramatic solution:

I don't need most of what I see there
I don't understand why this needs to be such a dramatic step.
I'm asked either to uninstall fairly basic pkgs like gnome-core or to
install a whole pile of stuff...
Just to be rid of pulseaudio.
I must be going at this all wrong?
