[arch-general] Alsa Softvol and MOC

[Storm Dragon]

Howdy,
No, I don't have pulseaudio installed. I actually can't use it because it will not allow me to use speakup in the console.  Interestingly enough, I read something that said moc doesn't have support for pulseaudio. So, I must have found outdated info.
Still, I wonder if we are missing a plugin in alsa itself?
thanks
Storm
