Its a simple provides issue - pulse-esound-compat and esound both provide /usr/bin/esd or esound. Yes. And the provides is correct. Eveything is correct at really. What I'm worried about is about KDE users installing alsa-plugins-pulse without knowing and starting to have sound

: problems. But since the "PulseAudio works in Gnome but not in KDE" thing looks like black magic (i.e. I don't know how has been implemented) I wanted a confirmation to know for sure if install alsa-plugins-pulse means PulseAudio is used for everything (I'm not sure about how to test this). no, not really, alsa-plugins-pulse installs /etc/alsa-pulse.conf, which is used in GNOME because we add this:
export ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/alsa-pulse.conf
to the startup scripts. So, if you don't use GNOME, alsa should be using PA, if not, it just works as normal (it uses the config in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf).
sorry, this is 'if YOU USE GNOME, alsa should be using PA, if not, ....'
