This task depends upon
However it is not a big deal if disabled in the official package, I will enable it in my local build.
I've been doing fine without pulseaudio for ages, and now I will have to package my own version of sdl2.
What is the downside of enabling the alsa driver beside a few more kb in the sdl2 package?
The fix is to re-enable alsa. There are no drawbacks whatsoever given that alsa had been enabled for ages.
I think the purpose of disabling drivers in sdl2 is for embedded devices and things like that.
Arch is a general purpose distro and should have all drivers enabled. People that want to fine-tune their sdl2 should create their own packages.
The package also still has alsa-lib as an optional dependency, even though it's useless now. Please re-enable alsa... =)
