Do
Code: [Select]
pacman -Qi libpulse
Anything in "Required By" will probably stop working if you remove libpulse.
Even if you don't use pulse within the the listed programs if they link to /usr/lib/libpulse.so they are unlikely to start.

But you could try it anyway. See what breaks out of the list. Then reinstall libpulse if you need to.

I run only on alsa but I am not using any of these dm's, only window maker.

Unfortunetely, lib pulse is installed by whatever packages

Code: [Select]
flatbush:[ruben]:~$ sudo pacman -Ss pulse|grep ins
world/libcanberra 1:0.30+r2+gc0620e4-4 [installed]
world/libpulse 17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1 [installed]
extra/libcanberra 1:0.30+r2+gc0620e4-4 [installed]
extra/libpulse 17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1 [installed]


No pulse though
