I've put PulseAudio into [testing] some time ago, but received no feedback on this.
This either means it works well, or nobody uses it.
So I'm asking for it now, especially from GNOME and KDE users running PulseAudio.
Great work Jan, it seems your updates have eliminated all the *-pulse packages I had from AUR (except the kde mixer for now).
On my system I still have mpd-pulse, gnome-media-pulse, gnome-settings-daemon-pulse, and sdl-pulse. The middle two at least will disappear with gnome updates I'm sure. I wonder whether the other two should just be left as is (without pulse support in the [extra] packages). Not a big issue, compiling from the AUR isn't a pain =)
It would be a good time to post a news article about these changes. It should explain the reasons for the change, the fact that without the "pulseaudio" package the server is not installed and can't be started EVER, and also how this obsoletes packages from AUR (on my count: mplayer-pulse, xine-lib-pulse, phonon-pulse, libao-pulse, gstreamer*-pulse, what else?).
Thanks again for your effort
