This topic has been pretty popular in many places for the last couple years or so.I have a strange sense of deja vu from this conversation. Won't go back into it
Last I checked, it didn't. But in any case, I sure hope the Pyra won't require Pulseaudio for anything.I would like OpenRC, but does Pulseaudio require systemd?
I don't know anything that strictly relies on PA, pretty much everything targets ALSA for maximum compatibility or simply uses a backend like SDL that actually leaves you a choice - old OSS-only artifacts should still be a much larger issue.I suspect that some ports (e.g. a phone suite) won't run without the pa daemon.

Actually, what kind of benefit does one even get by directly supporting PA besides skipping a single audio stream redirection? Does its API offer any sort of killer feature or something? It's not like a program that wants to use ALSA instead would put any limit on what the PA daemon may do with its audio stream.

Linux is small and efficient, it should work even with 16.Anything less than 32 GB is a joke. 16 GB might be acceptable *right now*, but how about 5 years from now? My laptop is older than that.
You realize there are 3 SD slots on it, yes? One internal microSD, and two external full sized SD. 16GB for high speed storage of the OS is more than enough. 4GB would probably be more than enough for the lifetime of the Pyra.Anything less than 32 GB is a joke. 16 GB might be acceptable *right now*, but how about 5 years from now?

The pandora suffers greatly from only having 512 MB internal storage. Just look at the clusterfuck that is the code::blocks PND. Had we had storage to install those tools properly, things would've been an awful lot better.
Serious question: Is that normal use? I don't mess with that stuff, so it isn't normal for my use, but I don't know what everyone else does.
A while back I needed to get a microSD card for one of my devices. I figured I'd only need a small one, so I asked for the smallest card they had at the store, which I figured would be 2GB. Turned out the lowest capacity they carried was 8GB.
