<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The problem of xfce nowadays is that it
lacks devs and it lacks support. Even active contributors have no
time to push things forward. As a result, one of the most popular
*nix desktop currently has no mixer application for handling basic
sound operations, not to speak about more adv options like
handling multiple audio sink (bluetooth spk, etc...). I was
planning to give a hand on this, because for me this is a major
weakness, but as Steve I have almost 0 free time. On the other
hand, if you look elsewhere, you find more stuffed desktop
projects doing nothing but screwing things up...<br>

<div>Before starting this I should say I have *no* time in the
next year, and several more urgent work packages for Xfce.
But, I do intend some day to write an update to the mixer
and volume daemon to use ALSA directly without GStreamer. I
cannot use PulseAudio so I really need it, but like I said,
no time. </div>

<div>Now, the same thing formulated in PR-speak:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The official sound packages are the PulseAudio ones. The
GStreamer 0.1 packages can be provided as a matter of
convenience but rely on obsolete dependencies. In the
future, a replacement may become available for those who
prefer to use ALSA, which will not be recommended to be used
as default; though distributors have the last say on this.<br>

Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I am one of the co-maintainers of several Xfce packages
in Fedora and<br>
would like to get an update about xfce4-mixer.<br>
<br>
Based on the conversation at [1], I understood that
xfce4-mixer is going<br>
to be obsoleted in favor of xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin. One
of the emails<br>
in that thread mentioned Slackware, which, with the
release of v14.2<br>
also carries pulseaudio (at least officially).<br>
<br>
Is this - pulseaudio-plugin obsoleting mixer - still the
case?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
Mukundan.<br>
