Maintainer thinks that elog postinst warning about it is enough?

Comment 2 Kim Nilsson 2021-01-28 11:14:57 UTC
Saw the updated RDEPEND and now the warning. It is regrettable that the project completely dropped Pulseaudio support, but I suppose that Gentoo's handling is acceptable. Recommend closing as invalid

After checking the Pulseefects website, I have to agree, they intend to only support pipewire.  At least they say they will support the Pulseeffect 4 series for a while.
