Removing PulseAudio and other questions.
How do I go about removing and eradicating PulseAudio from my PC? I really don't need it or find it useful other than bloatware in my system I want to slim down. DMix handles just enough for me and I don't need Networked Audio.
What all packages are tied to PulseAudio, and as far as other projects that are compiled with and for PulseAudio, does Ubuntu have Source packages that can be downloaded to where the user can strip out or comment out usage of PulseAudio, and then with a script, create .deb installer friendly packages for the Package Manager? |

Thanks, I kinda wish they'd just get rid of PulseAudio. It's too much a system resource hog for normal usage and ESounD, if needed, is easier on the resources and does the same job for Networked Audio.

If you want to use the minimal CD, be careful when installing media players. Many of the more full featured media players like Rhythmbox or Amarok may possibly add pulse audio as a dependency. Also, Amarok will likely include a boatload of KDE libraries as dependencies. So stick with the lighter media players like Audacious and MPlayer and you should be fine. |
