Oh.... bad news. Can someone recommend alternative for a audacious to switch then?

That's a weird one, shouldn't a libpulse dependency suffice?

FWIW even if this wasn't adjusted in some from it really isn't that hard to just build it either completely without pulseaudio or just switching the dependency to libpulse: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System

But I think just switching to libpulse is a safe compromise that would make everyone happy, I'll make a comment if the mentioned bug report is being reopened.

I spent hours wondering why there was suddenly no sound in mpv anymore. I ran into this topic by mere chance, and it helped me solving that issue. Thank you very much.

@kullfar: Maybe mpv is an alternative, if I understand you correctly. It is a command line tool but there are several GUI frontends available as well.

Re: audacious-plugins update forces pulseaudio [solved]

couldn't the plugins be splited into individual packages?
I mean, the plugin which requires pulseaudio is for midi-playback. who uses that? not many I suppose

capoeira have you tried the change V1del proposed

The pulse plugin is still built and shipped but only libpulse is required not the pulse package.

Nice to see the fix.
As a good alternative player I can recommend deadbeef
Have already switched to it https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … /deadbeef/
