Without discussing the source code, the way pulseaudio handles audio streams, regarding to this I only could quote what a known Linux DSP coder mentioned, it already is bad software, because it not always can be disabled without issues, but it will break audio on some machines. Making this a hard dependency by e.g. the gnome-settings-daemon is ignorant. Several times people claimed that nowadays pulseaudio can be disabled without issues and several times after such claims people experience issues when doing this. Since I don't need pulseaudio and I always would have to disable it, when doing audio productions, I can't see a reason to install it to my _userspace_. > Linux (by which I presume you mean Debian, as "Linux" refers to the > kernel, and we're discussing userspace stuff here) Correct, in this context Linux is for the userspace of what distro ever. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
