Thanks Nigel. I guess the lesson learned is to not use yum to remove.
what yum giveth, yum can taketh away and vice versa.
It doesn't really matter because you can add it back in again anyway.
yum install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
gets all of it back.
Not only am I sure that using yum to remove a package wasn't a case of a lesson to be learned, I am convinced that you have learned nothing of significant value at all. That you believe that you can draw significant conclusions based upon a lack of knowledge seems to be the lesson that eludes you most of all.
If you are trying to teach something here, get down to the basics. This has nothing to do with yum itself. How does someone know that the correct thing to remove/add is alsa-plugins-pulseaudio instead of pulseaudio? I don't see anything intuitive there, so where do you find that piece of information?
