Yes, that was my thought also. I think that LFSers sometimes start building things because they can without really understanding why. Many times it's because of an optional dependency. On my music server, the only audio really needed (for me) is alsa-utils, mpg, and vorbis-tools. I was going to do some things with pulseaudio, but haven't gotten back to that. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
