 The Steam client is primarily targeting Ubuntu, so in order to make it work
 on Slackware, the package ships with a slightly modified steam startup script.

+For Slackware 14.2 you will also have to install the following dependency:
   - OpenAL
-  - flashplayer-plugin
-These are both available as SlackBuild scripts on http://slackbuilds.org ;
-OpenAL and flashplayer-plugin packages can be found in my own repository

+Slackware 15.0 and later contain openal-soft, which actcually is OpenAL.

 Note that the Steam client currently is 32-bit only. If you are running a
-64-bit Slackware you must add multilib capability to it first.

-flashplayer-plugin), it is recommended that you also install a 'compat32'
-package for oxygen-gtk2 .

+--- Pulseaudio ---
+The Steam client is dynamically linked against pulseaudio libraries.
+If you do not use pulseaudio or want to use ALSA regardless, my
+modification to the steam startup script is able to actually force the script
+to use Slackware's ALSA for audio output.
+Pulseaudio will not be used then.  Uncomment the relevant lines
+in '/usr/bin/steam', it's self-explanatory.
 
+--- GPU ---
 In order to run the Steam client you will probably need a Nvidia or Ati card
 with proprietary drivers. I would like to hear from people who are able to
 start Steam and play a game using open source drivers.
