That's strange and creepy. This list isn't usually offensive, this thread has a low SNR, which might be what annoys people. >Anyway, if somebody should know a solution how to use GNOME without PA, >any hints are welcome. > >Cheers! > >Ralf Maybe there are dummy packages in AUR, maybe you need to create them. I personally try to avoid DEs and their dependencies. libpulse is installed on my system as well, there was no way around it, but libpulse on its own doesn't run, doesn't hurt, so I can live with that.
