I cannot discern any important loss of function from the deleted 34
packages so far. aplay, vlc, xmms, mythfrontend and even
skypeforlinux all work fine with alsa.
pulseaudio should just go away!
Unfortunately, Firefox requires pulseaudio for sound. Firefox is not
packaged with a dependency on pulseaudio, but without it installed you
want hear all the important parts of car crash videos on Youtube.
You're right, Sam. Firefox IS defective.
However, I'm listening to Patricia Kopatchinskaja on Google Chrome quite
successfully:

Somewhat more edifying and enjoyable than car crashes.
I guess this shows that Firefox, like gnome, has better alternatives.
It's really sad that so many programs tie themselves to specific
environments instead of using generalized functionality. Linux, and
Fedora in particular, need more attention to interface specs instead of
whizbang features.
