I could make PulseAudio installation significantly easier by putting specially-built packages (e.g. sdl-pulse, openal-pulse) into [community] and grouping them in a "pulse" group. This group would also include a "pulse-asoundrc" package containing a pulse-configured asound.conf, as well as depending on alsa-plugins. Should I go ahead with this? Any suggestions?
Sounds neat! (disclaimer: i haven't used PA on Arch, only on Ubuntu in the past.) Question: OK this would make it easy to transition *to* a PulseAudio based system, but suppose I later decide I don't like it-- is it easy to transition back to a non-PA system?(wait, it's trivial if those packages don't conflict with 'sdl' etc. -- do they?)
also I wonder why the group name to be "pulse" and not "pulseaudio".
