+# Don't like PulseAudio?
+# Fine, we're not going to force you to use it.
+#
+# To eliminate PulseAudio from your system and switch to using pure ALSA,
+# first remove the following packages:
+
+removepkg pulseaudio pamixer pavucontrol xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin
+
+# Next, install the packages in this directory:
+
+upgradepkg --install-new *.txz
+
+# Move the new asound.conf into place:
+
+mv /etc/asound.conf.new /etc/asound.conf
+
+# You may need to reboot at this point to make sure there are no running
+# PulseAudio processes, or any binaries still mapping the PulseAudio libraries.
+# If you use Xfce, you'll probably want to add the xfce4-mixer plugin (named
+# "audio mixer" in the menu) to the panel.
+#
+# If you run this README file as a script, it will do all of these things for
+# you except for adding the audio mixer to the Xfce panel:
+#
+# sh README
+#
+# Caveats:
+# Bluetooth audio will no longer work.
+# Third party packages that link to PulseAudio will need to be rebuilt.
+#
+# Enjoy! :-)
