What exactly about Pulseaudio do you think makes it "spyware?" The |
| 13 |
fact that it supports remote connections? I hope you're not using |
| 14 |
X11... |

Obviously you do need to use a secure configuration so that random |
| 17 |
hosts aren't tapping your microphone, but it would be news to me if |
| 18 |
this was allowed in the default configuration (and certainly a bug |
| 19 |
that should be fixed on Gentoo). |

I never bothered to migrate to pulseaudio for years, but started |
| 22 |
having random issues when logging into multiple X11 sessions from |
| 23 |
multiple users (probably a console permissions thing). Moving to |
| 24 |
pulse fixed that, and was surprisingly simple. While many probably |
| 25 |
don't need its features it makes a lot of sense to me... |
