Let's disable it and see how long it takes for people to notice that they can't mount DVDs without UDF support. we are bleeding edge and optical disks are so 90's! :)

I don't care whether it's in [extra], some other official repo or not since I simply don't need it. But now mplayer pulls in libpulse, and I have no idea which consequences this could have. I don't see why I need to have libs for a soundserver that I have no use for floating around on my machine. It is at best unnecessary and does nothing, at worst.. I don't know. I hope I don't need to install GNOME to turn it off or something.. (gconf and stuff). [...] If you don't want that tiny lib on your system, be my guest, recompile all your mediaplayers to get rid of all those optional codecs for media you don't use. Those are useless libs too, but somehow nobody complains about that. We should not forget to mention all this plagued ati and intel mplayer users, who are beeing forced to carry the burden of having libvdpau on their systems! Have not heard so much complaing about that so far ... Cheers, Ulf

I don't have any HDMI capable peripheral to even try to hear it! Alsa outputs to my true sound card without any problem...

So I'm asking for it now, especially from GNOME and KDE users running PulseAudio. Works great for me on gnome with pulseaudio setup. Only software left I use that needs to be recompiled is mplayer. But that should obviously be discussed here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21832 a little offtopic: There is lots of hatred of pulseaduio. Many peoble are claim that it doesn't work at all. I have seen some setups of various distributions with pulse in the recent year and there has been only been one real problem: passthrough and thats it. Except for that anything just worked with pulse enabled apps and with minor issues on alsa-apps. Cheers, Ulf

Many thanks, Christian You can set the initial keyboard layout in gdm (at the bottom of the screen), or (if you're already logged in), using System → Preferences → Keyboard. But that is not saved when I log out and restart the machine if I set it in system preferences. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg.conf Setting Keyboard Layout With Hot-Plugging --- Section InputClass Identifier Keyboard Defaults MatchIsKeyboardyes Option XkbLayout de Option XkbVariant nodeadkeys EndSection that's working for me.
