# COMPAT32=no sh apulse.SlackBuild
+The multilib version will create two binaries,
+apulse (64-bit) and apulse32 (32-bit), unless
+you choose to install the libraries globally.
+
+The default is for libraries to be installed in:
+
+ /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/apulse
+
+To override this setting and install the libraries
+directly into the /usr/lib*/ directories, run:
+
+ GLOBAL_LIBS=yes sh apulse.SlackBuild
+
+The advantage of this, is the ability for pulseaudio
+emulation in several applications beyond those
+originally intended by the apulse project, such
+as games from gog.com. The disadvantage of this
+'global' build type, is that some programs (such as
+Google Chrome) will believe you have pulseaudio
+installed and may not have sound.
