This > way, the default packages won't install with Pulseaudio. pulseaudio is a build-only dependency, not required by binary packages. In some cases OSS is not enough e.g., multiplexing, postprocessing or integration with widgets/panels in GNOME/KDE (via DBus). $ pkg rquery %dn firefox | fgrep pulse Binary packages are supposed to be full-featured. If not SNDIO and JACK would be disabled as well. ;)
