can you clarify that you are talking about pulseaudio and not about libpulse?

I had GNOME3 installed for Debian and 2 dummy packages solved all issues, since GNOME3 doesn't need PA, just some "my computer should be a toy, instead of a tool" tasks need PA.
Okay, if the policy of Arch Linux is to force people to install unneeded stuff, than it simply isn't the distro I should use.
