Can I use XFCE without Pulse?
Hello,
I work with music production and for that, I only use Jack on my system. I'm would like to try XFCE out, but I would like to know if it can works without Pulse? Is Pulse a dependency for XFCE?
Cheers,
Castle

Re: Can I use XFCE without Pulse?
Hello and welcome.
Xfce, as designed, does not require pulse. Caveats:
some Xfce components do require pulse (e.g. xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, xfce4-volumed-pulse). If they are installed, pulseaudio will be installed as well.
some distros may set pulse as a dependency of Xfce. Especially if packages are grouped in some manner and include one of the above or simply a distro default.

Yes. xfce4-volumed. However, it looks like its been archived - no work since 2014. Depending on the distro, it may still be available in its repositories.
