I'd say this is invalid, cause that would create a circular dependency. Unless we're talking about a PDEPEND (of pulseaudio), but still that wouldn't be good. But a note at the end of pulseaudio emerge could be useful, though most of pulseaudio users know about pulse alsa plugin anyway.

You can use pulseaudio just fine without the alsa-plugin if everything you use talks directly to pulseaudio so the plugin shouldn't be forced on everyone. I added a msg telling people to install alsa-plugins if it's not already installed. |
