Description gentoo 2008-03-31 16:58:00 UTC 
All media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.9* ebuilds pull in gnome-extra/gnome-audio, even when the -gnome use flag is set. Here's a snippet from line 51 of pulseaudio-0.9.9-r3.ebuild:

RDEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        gnome-extra/gnome-audio
        alsa? ( media-sound/alsa-utils )
        bluetooth? ( >=net-wireless/bluez-utils-3 )"

Note: pulseaudio-0.9.7.ebuild does not have this problem. 

I deleted gnome-extra/gnome-audio from the ebuild (in an overlay ebuild), re-emerged pulseaudio, and everything worked. Presumably, gnome-extra/gnome-audio should be pulled in only when the gnome use flag is set.

Reproducible: Always

gnome-audio contains the sound file used by PulseAudio for hotplug sound, as gnome-audio has no other deps, it makes little sense to make it optional. Its size also doesn't deem an USE flag.

Does PA still use the file? After 4 years?
Comment 4 Артём Воротников 2013-02-08 23:37:32 UTC 
Okay, so the default default.pa does NOT pull any sounds unless you are on win32. [1] What is the reason for gnome-audio dependency again?
