Hello:
I have been wanting to get rid of Pulseaudio for a while but have not paid much attention to it till now.
I didn't install it and my guess was that it was not part of my Devuan Beowulf installation.
So I checked with aptitude:
groucho@devuan:~$ aptitude why pulseaudio
i xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin Recommends pulseaudio
groucho@devuan:~$
So it seems that by simply installing a volume control for the Xfce panel, I got Pulseaudio as an added bonus, so to speak.
I tried apt to see what a purge would drag along with it:
groucho@devuan:~$ sudo apt purge pulseaudio --dry-run
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libpulsedsp pulseaudio-utils rtkit
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
pulseaudio*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Purg pulseaudio [12.2-4+deb10u1]
groucho@devuan:~$
I see that xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin does not get removed but I'm not at all confident that it will still work.
ie: the name says it all.
The panel volume control/mixer is something I use a lot but it does not have to be this one.
Any suggestions/recommendations with respect to this?
Thanks in advance,
Best,
A.

Try
# aptitude purge pulseaudio{,-utils} # aptitude will auto-autoremove
# apt install volumeicon-alsa
$ echo 'volumeicon &' >> ~/.xsessionrc # see https://wiki.debian.org/Xsession#User_configuration
Then remove the PA plugin from the panel and add a systray for volumeicon (if you don't already have one).
