Hi Didier,

I have no pulseaudio running and skypeforlinux still works (yes, I
need to use it, unfortunately). I don't understand what you mean
"installed in its own place in the hierarchy". apulse is not a
replacement to pulseaudio, just a wrapper to foul apps around to
believe that pulseaudio is running. I don't think we can really
replace deps to pulseaudio with deps to apulse, tbh.
