Hi Didier, I have no pulseaudio running and skypeforlinux still works (yes, I need to use it, unfortunately). I don't understand what you mean "installed in its own place in the hierarchy". apulse is not a replacement to pulseaudio, just a wrapper to foul apps around to believe that pulseaudio is running. I don't think we can really replace deps to pulseaudio with deps to apulse, tbh.
