I can do that. do you want me to?

Do you think it is really wise to have gPodder depend on PulseAudio? There are
many other audio systems in use and as far as I understand THP, there is no
reason one would need PA to run GPodder. What happens if someone installs JACK
without PA or goes straight ALSA as I have done (and many other people who have
hardware and other issues with PA)?

I personally think having people without PA who install gPodder missing the
Bluetooth features is much more sensible than the reverse which means anyone
who doesn't want PA can't use gPodder from the repos. The majority of people
will have PA and the Bluetooth stuff by default anyway, so they would never
notice if that dependency was dropped. Also, the Bluetooth stuff is not needed
to run gPodder if I understand Thomas correctly (and by looking at the .deb
package).
