Should pulseaudio also pull in alsa-utils?

Channel: Edge

Devices: Poco F1 and Oneplus 6

Volumes specified in alsa ucm conf don't get applied unless alsa-utils package is pulled in. But it is not pulled in by default.

I think it should be pulled in by pulseaudio itself. Because pulseaudio seems to be requiring alsa-utils-openrc https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketos/pmaports/-/blob/master/temp/pulseaudio/APKBUILD#L48

which I think will run this script: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/main/alsa-utils/alsa.initd

this script requires alsactl command to work properly. but that is provided alsa-utils which isn't pulled in by anyone else.

So unless, device packages themselves pull in, the ucm conf volumes are not applied properly.
