Removing pulseaudio should be workaround until guys fix some problems between alsa and pulseaudio. I'd love to know why this is the case. Still way too many stupid dependencies in openSUSE. It was getting better, but this is just stupid. I don't use pulseaudio, nor want to. Just like trying to remove avahi. Unable to without removing half of my system. Does anyone know who's in charge of actually accepting the dependencies

Not trying to rant against you Rajko, but I've been debating dumping suse for a while now. The build quality has deteriorated since opensuse(with ups and down - 10.0, 10.2, 11.0 up, 10.1, 10.3, 11.1 down).
It's not against anybody Larry. You are not alone with that feeling, and there was debate on opensuse-project mail list. Everybody is invited to meeting tomorrow: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2009-03/msg00083.html
Unfortunately, I can't make it. "Dependency Hell" is still with us, and MUST be fixed. For example, if you install the 4 OpenOffice "extra" files for 3.09, I believe it is, and then want to update OO from the openSUSE listed OO site, you end up with a slew of dependency issues, for both 32 and 64-bit systems! This has existed now for over 3 weeks! This is the type of nonsense that WILL and DOES turn off newbies, let alone those of us who are seasoned vets.
