I didn't notice this PR until now. I have the competing proposal here: #35355 Technical suggestions:
(And of course I prefer the simplicity of just completely disabling sound by default and putting it in the example config, that's why #35355 .) |

Hmm, after thinking about this for a while this is IMHO not a good idea. Having more of these cross module dependencies makes the whole module machinery we have in NixOS very confusing and convoluted. X11 itself is not directly bound to sound support in any way to this doesn't make a lot of sense. If people really want this, @aristidb's suggestions should be implemented though. 👍 |

Motivation for this change
In #35292 @fpletz brought up the imo very good idea to disable sound by default.
Per my proposal here: #35292 (comment) I enable sound if
services.xserver.enableistrue.This gives most users the desired effect, desktop users get working sound and server users will not get
alsaUtilsor any ALSA services.If you feel like you dont belong in either category it's simple enough to enable.
