If you want any distributor to remove that last dependency, they have to provide to complete set of rpms, one with, the other without pulsaudio. That's impossible.
But why? Why do the devs feel the need to force stuff on us? I'm constantly removing that crappy Bonjour service on WinDoZe machines to free up resources, and I have yet to see any advantage to something like avahi. Same with pulse audio.
Maybe you should take a look at the Gentoo distribution. You have to compile everything yourself (but that is easy&automated) and you can specify which deps you don't want with USE-flags.
Warning: Gentoo is not pointyclick oriented. ;-)
But Gentoo is <shudder> Gnome <shudder> oriented, correct? -- Those who see no difference between people legally immigrating to the US and people who come here illegally must likewise see no difference between consensual sex and rape. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
