Fabian, You are probably not going to like me... but I am most likely going to revert the packaging change in Fedora that removes gnome-bluetooth as a dependence once I've tested to my satisfaction that removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio prevents PA from controlling local sound devices. I noticed that alsa-plugins-pulseaudio wasn't actually pulled in when you did a gpodder install. As far as I am aware your only complaint was that some parts of PA were pulled onto your system taking up space...not that it was actually interfering with your ALSA configuration. Just installing gpodder..even if it does depend on gnome-bluetooth should not automatically enable PA and get in anyone's way because it doesn't actually pull the bits that cause PA to grab and control ALSA devices. Once I've done the testing I will also add a Fedora.README in the gpodder package that explicitly state the sufficient steps to disable PA that does not require complete removal of all PA related packages from a client system. When you do notice this change, please remember to continue this discussion in the Fedora bug tracker as the problem here is entirely scoped inside the capabilities of the Fedora packaging system and my choices as a the primary package maintainer. -jef -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.gpodder.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ gPodder-Bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-bugs
