There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository pulseaudio: remove rtkit dependency and update to 14.2 https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/28771 Description: PulseAudio doesn't need rtkit available to work for basic usage, so it's better to only pull it in when a user wants realtime (the error messages should also be clear enough). Since rtkit now pulls in a complex dependency in polkit, we can avoid pulseaudio also pulling the whole thing in. I have yet to test this throroughly. Basic functionality is fine. @q66
