New comment by steinex on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/32232#issuecomment-888486328 Comment: I just got told from upstream what this does is it prevents pulseaudio from auto-exiting during a login session. Normally PA exits if there are no clients in a while. This means it's fine to have elogind support compiled in when elogind is not present, it will just not spawn a client and PA will auto-exit just as before (also confirmed by upstream) - so I'd prefer to keep this functionality enabled.
