I don't think that TDE depends on pulse, at least not the base libraries. I have not *all* TDE packages installed, but quite a copious install and there is no pulse (on Devuan ascii). If you find a pulse program/package you can try to find out why it is installed with this handy command: $ aptitude why <package> Kind regards, Stefan
