Description:
Hi. The package currently lists pulseaudio as a dependency but a dependency of libpulse would suffice. Changing this will not have any meaningful impact that I can see other than allowing users to run Mangler without a full PA installation (if they would just like to use plain old ALSA instead). This doesn't change resulting binaries as they are still built on libpulse either way. Thank you for your consideration. |

FS#41770FS#41770. It turns out that the hang is avoided by changing 'AudioSubsystem = pulse' to 'AudioSubsystem = alsa' in ~/.mangler/config.ini. I have been running mangler without pulseaudio for sometime by building the package without the dependency changed to libpulse (which is redundant because it's pulled in by other dependencies).I don't remember ever editing ~/.mangler/config.ini but my memory is less than perfect. It could also be the case that Manger's startup behaviour changed and I never noticed because my configuration file was already set.
At any rate it seems like there's some upstream bugs. Upstream seems dead, however. Their website has gone missing so I opted to pull it from WayBack https://web.archive.org/web/20141112133711/http://www.mangler.org/download/
Given the disarray, I'm fine with whatever. My motivation was to clean up my 'pacman -Qm' a bit.
