I will bet money this is another systemd thing.

@gentoobro Okay, I kept reading.

If a critical production system talks to a printer by any means besides shitting its logs to a serial port connected to a line printer, the admins deserved it.

As far as I understand, the -browsed daemon is just for the lazy magic "automatic printer discovery" shit that never works anyway.
Didn't know that, but it's not possible for me to hate Red Hat more than I do already.
@gentoobro Avahi, systemd, PulseAudio. The three worst things about $current_year Linux are all Lennart's fault.
I don't have the latter two. Might have to mask out avahi.
@gentoobro Yeah, I would be able to avoid pulseaudio altogether if it weren't for Firefox. I don't have avahi or systemd.
I use firefox without pulse. Works fine. Upgrade to Gentoo.

The output indeed works without PA, the input… it's complicated 😅
You don't need that often, but when you do, you usually get taken by surprise that the mic is silent.
apulse fixes the input too — that's what I use, but it adds a tiny latency.
