[SOLVED] Why is PulseAudio disabled in all packages it's supported in?
I know this issue isn't going to be a big one for now, but why is/was vlc, audacious, mplayer, sdl and others compiled with PulseAudio disabled? Each one of those programs is compiled with OSS support, which is also in community. I just don't see the reason :S

because pulse was in community and we have a policy to not depends/makedepends in packages from community. oss support is compiled because of oss currently in kernel and the one from community is a newer version and a replacement for the one from kernel.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks for explaining that to me Wonder, I wasn't aware OSS was in the kernel as I thought it was dropped for ALSA. A mistake on my part 
And yup Allan, I'm aware PA is going to Extra which excites me! It'll cut down on my AUR packages list now for sure
