the Devuan ASCII sprint will continue through the week-end. Just to
let you know that apulse (pulseaudio->alsa compat layer) and surf2
(the suckless browser) are now in ASCII. Feel free to give them a try
and report any issue.
apluse is installed in its own place in the hierarchy. It is not
installed as a replacement for pulseaudio - otherwies it should conflict
with it.
Therefore its use is limited to software which is compiled locally, and
I think it cannot act as a compatibility layer for ready-made packages like
Skypeforlinux. Skypeforlinux has no sound when pulseaudio isn't install,
even when apulse is.
However I'm not sure Skypeforlinux is still usefull since it seems to
have exactly the same UI as Skypeweb.
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.

What about Twinkle instead of skypeforlinux?
