ALSA vs. pulseaudio

Heyas

The last step of having a minimal to multimediable gui is here... The audio.
If i just watch on dependcies alsa* surley wins, with 23 packages

Now having a look to pulseaudio*...
The screen scrolls out of sight, and listing things like gdm.. gnome-*, and i go like WTF?
A total of 56 packages.. more than the double.

Anyone an idea why there are so many 'weird' (imho at least) dependencies?
I mean, for what reason does an audio application need a GDM for example??

At first this post should have been a question which one's to prefer, however, i decided to use alsa for the scripts, as i want to keep the minimal approach, which pulseaudio does not support for certain

Cheerio
