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".
