Hi All,
On a clean install I did last week I discovered enlightenment had no sound, this was due to the missing pulseaudio-module-x11. Currently the Gnome, Mate and KDE patterns all recommend pulseaudio-module-x11 (along with several other modules) which leads me to the question is it possible to have working audio on a desktop out of the box without the pulseaudio-module-x11 package on any desktop, if not I am proposing that we move the recommends on PulseAudio into the x11 or x11_opt package (I'm open to either) if some other desktops don't require this package for audio i'm happy to add the recommends to the enlightenment pattern.

I have a system with XFCE completly free of pulseaudio, and sound works just fine. It's already a big effort to remove pulseaudio, please don't make it even worse. Yes, I know, that in theory it should make sound setup easier. On the other hand, it makes sound quality worse. In my experience it makes mp3 quality sound from flac files. I tried to experiment a few times with pulseaudio settings, but the only good solution for good sound quality was to remove it completely.
