Hi Brent, it's unlikely a ticking time bomb for me, while building "pro-"audio related packages from AUR as well as my own packages. However, I agree that empty dummy packages might inherit risks. Since Jude run into an "averaged desktop audio" pulseaudio related issues, it indeed might be the better approach to disable pulseaudio for testing purpose, instead of removing it by an empty dummy package. Btw. it's no problem to stay with having the package libpulse installed, when using a dummy package for pulseaudio ;). My apologies for mentioning the ability to disable pulsaudio by a post scriptum. I didn't think about it, since it's irrelevant for my Linux audio usage. I _can_ rely on ALSA and Jack with the ALSA backend for my needs. Consider my mail as a hint for testing purpose and not as the ultimate solution for all use cases. Regards, Ralf
