Hi Since I am just a comperativly inexperienced user, it took me some time to get pulseaudio working (Digging the forum to change the asound.conf, getting vlc to work with pulse by the aur-package). I think it would be great having a package group, with which I could install all this stuff at once

The problem with doing that is some packages will indeed have to *depend* and not just optdepend on PA. PulseAudio installs some desktop files that causes it to autostart together with Gnome or KDE. The PA client library will start the PA server if it's not running, instead of failing. That means

I could make PulseAudio installation significantly easier by putting specially-built packages (e.g. sdl-pulse, openal-pulse) into [community] and grouping them in a "pulse" group. This group would also include a "pulse-asoundrc" package containing a pulse-configured asound.conf, as well as dependi
