[Bug 364962] [NEW] [jaunty] using 20090420.1 alternate or 20090421.2 dvd (any frontend) image results in pulseaudio being installed by default

[Daniel T Chen]

Public bug reported:

(as requested by Scott Kitterman in #kubuntu-devel)

Using either the 20090420.1 alternate or 20090421.2 dvd (any frontend)
image activates pulseaudio by default. This behavior differs from the
20090420.1 desktop image, where pulseaudio is not installed or activated
by default.

Upon further investigation, I've found that distribution upgrades of
Kubuntu from hardy or intrepid will mimic the behavior of the 20090420.1
alternate or 20090421.2 dvd image, i.e., pulseaudio is activated by
default.

In summary, users:
1) of the alternate or dvd images,
2) dist-upgrading from hardy or intrepid

will have pulseaudio activated by default. This behavior is likely
undesirable.

A workaround is to use KPackageKit/apt-get/aptitude to remove the
pulseaudio package, killall pulseaudio, log out of KDE, and log back
into KDE.

This behavior should be noted in the release notes for Kubuntu Jaunty.
