Thanks. If we don't want this integration, do we need to

these packages ourselves in the future?
Only if you want to be able to rm libpulse…
Or will there be an option to use plain alsa (and have actual sound
:))?
It automatically detects that PulseAudio is not in use and will use plain
ALSA just as before. The PulseAudio integration is only enabled at runtime
if PulseAudio is actually there.
Will there be a change in kmix? I don't want to lose any of my
sliders.
The KMix PulseAudio integration is not shippable in 4.3 nor 4.4, so no, KMix
is not being changed at this time.
See for yourself:

Almost everything is commented out. The code is basically unusable. So you
don't have to fear for your ALSA-enabled KMix just yet. ;-)
