Be patient but my knowledge of OE is still limited, the point here is
that distros can override PREFERRED_VERSIONs set in machine files, isn't
it?

I can well add DEFAULT_PREFERENCE_om-a780 = "-1"
in both pulseaudio_0.9.21.bb and pulseaudio_0.9.19.bb
Is that what you mean Mickey?
Way better than my solution but still a bit hackish.
If that's OK for you, it'll be fine with me as well.

About fixing distro, isn't 'minimal' supposed to build all the latest
recipes? If so a  conf/distro/include/preferred-minimal-versions.inc
would not have much sense if we can't set preference rules per
machines (or archs).

Thanks,
