             Bug #: 55180
           Summary: daemon shouldn't depend on libpulse
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: build-system
        AssignedTo: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

The pulseaudio binary (and a bunch of other stuff), has an incorrect dependency
on libpulse. This was introduced in commit df6e38bfd (yes I know it's ancient.
But that was still after the last time I was involved in the project, so I
didn't spot it until now):

    temporary commit to allow flameeyes a look

Seem like the commit wasn't terribly temporary. :)


The so-files are supposed to be divided as such:

 - lubpulsecore : Stuff that _only_ the server needs

 - libpulse : Stuff that _only_ the client needs

 - libpulsecommon : Stuff that _both_ the client and the server needs

With the server depending on libpulse, libpulsecommon is entirely redundant and
might as well be merged into libpulse.

Or we go back to the old system, reducing the stuff loaded by the server.
