But pulseaudio is installed, having been pulled in by plasma-meta; that's why 
I was puzzled.

$ eix -Ic pulse

clients

[I] media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon (16.1{xpak:2}@30/06/22): Daemon component of 
PulseAudio (networked sound server)
Found 3 matches

The only pertinent difference between the machines is that one is amd64, the 
other ~amd64. Well, the ~amd64 box has no sound hardware, but apart from 
that...

And it has worked well for me too until now.

Yes, I saw that, and no, I hadn't heard of it either.

If you have any of those packages installed, the news will display.

We try to filter news so that users aren't bombarded by things that
aren't relevant to them.  For example, a few weeks ago there was
apparently a corruption in the mu MUA (which I'd never heard of),
which would be really important to know about if you were one of the
0.001% of Gentoo users who rely on it.

[gentoo-user] Selective news?

2022-07-30 Thread Peter Humphrey
Hello list,

My amd64 workstation received a news item about pulseaudio and pipewire 
today. I did what it recommended to keep pulseaudio because plasma-meta 
requires that.

Then I went to my ~amd64 machine and looked for the same news item - and 
there was no sign of anything about either pulse or pipe. This machine has no 
working sound hardware, but even so, how did the news function know not to 
fetch that item?
