Here is the functionality that will break: From David Rosca: > Two checkboxes under Advanced tab in KCM: > > * Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound > cards > * Automatically switch all running streams when a new output > becomes available Those will be now hidden when building without GConf. From Christophe Giboudeaux: > Virtual devices. The openSUSE maintainers for pulseaudio tried > removing the gconf plugin and it made my virtual card to have sound > both on my speakers & USB card disappear. To me it seems like it is dropping gconf support for *now* and readding gsettings support back in with Plasma 5.14. There may be some users who use virtual devices, but I bet most users won´t. And those may still be able to use paprefs as a interim solution. Upstream patch for dropping gconf support, by David Rosca: https://phabricator.kde.org/D13734 Thanks, -- Martin
