Other distros split those 7947 packages by the factor of 8 and more packages, so just one of that 8 packages could have a hard dependency to pulseaudio, IOW the ratio for e.g. Debian and Ubuntu would be much higher. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
