I personally can't stand pulse, and I'm not the only one: <http://linux-speakup.org/pipermail/speakup/2013-June/058100.html> <http://linux-speakup.org/pipermail/speakup/2013-June/058102.html> <http://linux-speakup.org/pipermail/speakup/2013-June/058200.html> There is more where that came from. The only reason I tolerate it is because removing pulseaudio also removes gnome-core among others. I'm all for choice, and believe that those who want pulse in devuan should be able to install it. I would also however love to go back to the good old days of squeeze where some many things didn't depend on pulse, and I could get speech from orca with only alsa, or even just oss installed. Just my $0.01 worth.
