Add me to the list of folks who had to nuke as much of pulseaudio as I

Huh? What was it trying to remove and why (i.e. what PA stuff did it
depend on)? Normally the only KDE package you have to remove when removing
PA is kde-settings-pulseaudio (duh...).

I finally got working audio back, seems there is an alsa-pulse package,
that because the list is sorted alphabetical, wasn't noted at first.
Ferinstance, dependency hell.. Just trying to remove akode-pulseaudio gets
all this:
Humm, can't seem to make kmail insert a .png, and I'm not gonna hand copy
that list, its akode, kdeaddons-extras, and all 8 pieces of kde-muiltmedia
that
will go out with it. That's BS.
akode-pulseaudio is harmless, chill. :)

I got curious and put "pulse-audio" in Google and got the 10,000
hits as usual but number 1 was for pulseaudio.org so I did that. It is a
busy web page. I saw a tab for detailed info on pulseaudio so I went
there. It was just another list of good things it does without any
backup from science or engineering.
I looked at other tabs but they seem to be the same. If your
interested there are a lot of web pages to read :-)
My current view is that this software needs to be removed from
Fedora Now! It has been a total failure. If not then someone explain
how, and why it is good. In detail.
