I never heard about issues with PA. It's the best sound server ever. All
DEs should make it a dependency and people should stop whining about PA
and stop spreading FUD. There's nothing as fantastic as PA is.

Can't people stop to write about PA on mailing lists? It's unwanted to
talk about PA on mailing lists.

Sorry, I couldn't resist ;).

Even if your issue shouldn't be caused by PA. Having PA installed is
always a bad idea. Remove the pulseaudio package, but keep the lib. If
it's a dependency of your DE, file a bug report upstream + to

, drop the DE or build an empty dummy package using equivs.
