Assumed there should be hard dependencies to pulseaudio, you could replace it with a dummy package and ... pkgname=pulseaudio pkgver=2014.07.16 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Dummy package" arch=('any') provides=('pulseaudio') https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD ... after that kill pulseaudio. "PulseAudio can be stopped with: $ pulseaudio --kill" - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio So IMO no reboot should be needed to completely get rid of it, but rebooting can't harm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
