<html><head></head><body><div dir="auto">Hi Tim,<br><br>There are two aspects to your request:<br>- Bringing a piece of software and a maintainer into the Xfce project. The main concern here is your skills and commitment. Talk to the team, maybe engage in smaller tasks etc.<br>- Suitability of xfce4-alsamixer - definitely. IMHO we should have a mixer that doesn't require a sound server. There was/is xfce4-mixer but I don't know which of these projects is a better starting point. Some time ago we (I, in fact) have moved to pulseaudio but it was a purely pragmatic choice, Gstreamer's mixer API was gone with no alternatives in sight and I wanted an easy fix that would give the most people a working mixer. Definitely not against ALSA or other solutions. <br><br>Thanks, <br>Andrzej <br></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto">On 12 June 2024 23:58:20 BST, Tim Tassonis <stuff@decentral.ch> wrote:</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
