Dear Friends,

my motivation for use apulse is the follow:
i like simple systems, witch do what they say and no more.
Sometime i need sound from my PC, and i use/have ALSA.
Some software, especialy actual skype work only with PA or with this
nice part of sofware.

I do not need "a network-capable sound server
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_server> hosted at freedesktop.org
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedesktop.org>." (from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio).
This is the same problem as with systemd, the software do mutch more
that i want.

The discussion about the suggestion had opened my eyes, that replacement
is not the best way, we should have both, if someone need the extra
functionality/addons.( for me are thes unwanted addons). But how?

1. Idealy programs sould use ALSA and optionaly PA.
2. forget the software that is only PA capable and use some alternative
or make it ALSA capable.
2.1. use apulse, apulse make for each known application that do only
work with PA one wrapper script, that replace the original program.
3. some other ideas?

The problem is similar to this with systemd, if we replace
ALSA->arbitary init, and PA-> systemd, apulse ~>systemd-shim, skype->gnome.

With devuan we make the same steps, right?

Regards,
Mike
