Hi, I am updating jackbeat, which is orphan, in [extra] and the last release (0.7.2) needs portaudio from [community]. Still, jackbeat provides pulseaudio support if it is built with; pulseaudio is in [community]. This package is orphan, so I think is not a good solution if I update it and add another orphan package into [extra]. But I can update and move it to [community] or AUR (pkgstats says 4.47%). Maybe some TUs is interested.

Opinions?

There is another option... many packages in [extra] have/had requests opened in the bug-tracker asking for their pulseaudio backend to be added. Maybe it is time those packages moved to [extra]. Allan
