           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

KMix seems to be indirectly problematic in cases such as these:=20

<https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/80412/post-524012>; where I chose to for=
ce
deletion of KMix, then create and register a fake manifest to prevent
reinstallation;=20

<https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/75044/>; involving a headset and a USB
switch.=20

Thoughts
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

On one hand: a logical response to this bug report might be, refrain from
installing multimedia/kdemultimedia (instead: perform installation of discr=
ete
packages).=20

On the other hand: logically, a person should not encounter such difficulti=
es
with audio =E2=80=93 with or without USB.=20

Given real-world difficulties with audio/USB, can multimedia/kdemultimedia =
be
changed to _not_ depend upon KMix?=20

At least, until difficulties can be more easily worked around or resolved.=
=20

TIA
