alsa-lib-1.1.0-i586-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Added a default /etc/asound.conf redirecting ALSA output to PulseAudio.
I would have preferred if that asound.conf file were contained in its own package (just as the config file that blacklists Nouveau is), as that would make Pulseaudio easier to disable.

Good point, but I'll wait until I have a working install to decide whether to whine or not.
I hope that I will be able to continue PA free easily enough, or will just accept PA if it causes no other problems.
Pulse has improved greatly, but if Patrick says it's ready to go, which I'm also looking at how QT and KDE have support for Pulse, which could be useful, then it's fine.
Speaking of which QT5 and KDE/Plasma5 have support for pulse if I'm correct.
As for JACK, doesn't JACK have a plugin for Pulse, or would we require an init script for JACK now?

Yes, for a long time already. I am on my 3rd attempt at recompiling Qt5 now; first time consumed all of my 67 GB of free disk space and failed at the end; second try froze the virtual machine where I was building it.
Next round of Plasma 5 packages for -current should all come PA-enabled. When? As soon as my compile box stops breaking.
I always dread building QT regardless of what version it is 4 or 5. Even on my Quad-core with 4GB RAM with an 8GB swap at make -j5 it feels like it takes away enough time to make you question your life at times and say "hurry the f--- up dammit!" at the screen.
