When trying to install the current version of VICE (2.4-7)
via pacman, I am informed I need to install pulseaudio. I do
not wish to do this. I consider this a bug because VICE has
support for multiple audio output options and works just
fine without pulse. I do not wish to force installation of
the package with pacman -Sdd.
To test, you can either force installation without dependency checking (I avoided the packages libnet pulseaudio rtkit sbc webrtc-audio-processing, other dependencies were already installed) or you can compile with --without-pulse to verify the package works fine. Also, a pulse-enabled VICE can be used on a non-pulse system by simply selecting the "alsa" audio device in settings | sound settings | sound device name and enabling audio. Hopefully a valid compromise can be found that will enable more people to use and install this package without requiring the installation of pulseaudio. |
This task depends upon

namcap vice-2.4-9-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz :(
vice W: Dependency alsa-lib included but already satisfied
vice W: Dependency included and not needed ('pulseaudio')
vice W: Dependency included and not needed ('libnet')
This extra dependency seems reasonable to remove as you have stated.
Possibly have pulseaudio be a builddep but not a standard dependency seems reasonable.
