Pulseaudio does not require gnome-audio but pulls it in anyway. Here are my flags: "X alsa asyncns avahi bluetooth caps dbus glib hal libsamplerate tcpd -gnome -jack -lirc -oss (-policykit)" notice -gnome. emerging with --nodeps compiles error free. This is the list of depends off pulseaudio's site. # liboil # libsamplerate # libsndfile # libatomic_ops # libspeexdsp # libgdbm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge pulseaudio -gnome 2. 3. Actual Results: emerges gnome-audio pulseaudio Expected Results: emerges pulseaudio
gnome-audio is listed as a run-time dependency, not a build dependency so it is no wonder pulseaudio compiled fine without it. Are you sure all of the tools included in pulseaudio work properly without gnome-audio installed?

This wav file only needs from gnome-audio for pulseaudio ?? I doesn't want to have any gnome packages.
I think this needs to be addressed and maybe switch the runtime dependency from X use flag to gnome. Not sure this stuff is necessary for use of pulseaudio when the gnome use flag is not set.
