They still can. Installing libpulse0 doesn't automatically pull in pulseaudio and forces you to use it. In fact, if you install vlc without installing vlc-plugin-pulse today, you already get libpulse0: $ apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse- -s -V | egrep "libpulse|vlc-plugin-pulse" Package 'vlc-plugin-pulse' is not installed, so not removed libpulse0 (5.0-6) libpulse0 (5.0-6) Inst libpulse0 (5.0-6 Debian:unstable [amd64]) Conf libpulse0 (5.0-6 Debian:unstable [amd64]) This split might have made sense a few years ago when PulseAudio was new and nobody used it, bit this really isn't the case anymore. > As for the GUI-pulse dependencies, they might be using something like LXDE > which doesn't pull in Xfce/KDE/Gnome dependencies. LXDE also pulls in libpulse0: $ apt-get install -s -V task-lxde-desktop | grep libpulse0 libpulse0 (5.0-6) libpulse0 (5.0-6) Inst libpulse0 (5.0-6 Debian:unstable [amd64]) Conf libpulse0 (5.0-6 Debian:unstable [amd64]) Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
