I am not sure if GNOME has really a hard requirement on it. Most of the GNOME applications will fallback to the default ESD sound daemon, which is still present in 11.2.

When running Gnome SDL outputs sound through the Pulse backend and every ALSA app gets redirected to PulseAudio.
If PA is being removed then this means that every ALSA app is communicating directly with the ALSA drivers. The only issue that remains are the applications that depends on the SDL audiodrivers. These will require the PA soundserver, but maybe this could also be checked before the SDL_AUDIODRIVER is exported ?
Yes. What I wanted to say is that this is the part from where "in openSUSE Gnome uses PulseAudio" comes from. Sure, it could be improved.
