A dependency to libpulse is ok, a dependency to pulseaudio is the
showstopper.

Until now even this isn't an issue, since AFAIK only GNOME for Arch
insists on pulseaudio. But this might change. People for good reasons
chose some distro. However, IMO it's important to see which way the wind
is blowing. I much to often read one name (Poe...), when simply reading
just for entertainment some Linux ezines.

Paranoia ;), but for god reasons ;).
