Re: My sound blaster live disappeared

Yeah, the problem with that is that some package maintainer for some package that I do use, down the line, may get the bright idea to make pulse a dependency.

I also wonder if a newer build of Debian may work out the issues with pulse. This particular box hasn't been rebuilt in about 5 years...I plan to rebuild it in the next month or two because I want to upgrade from i386 to amd64...

Thanks, gents...That worked for a treat. Now what is the best way to
keep it from getting reinstalled?

First, let me repeat (with other words): it is a dirty way. But I guess, if you do not install gnome-core again, you won't get pulseaudio as well.
On the other hand, this issue (feature?) is well-known, you'll find some suggestions to disable pulseaudio from getting loaded (please google "pulseaudio, autospawn") but I felt like this being too uncomfortable for me.
