Ranting, not ranting, upstream commenting that pulseaudio should be made necessary for gnome volume control in distributions... and then... here is an interesting upstream comment!
Comment #9 from Marc-Andre Lureau (gnome-media developer, points: 21) 2009-07-26 10:20 UTC [reply] (In reply to comment #8) > how can I use gnome-media without the pulseaudio? It used to work in previous > versions but not in 2.27.x. ./configure --enable-gstmix Now if some ubuntu developer could please investigate what this switch does and eventually enable that one for gnome-volume-control, that would be very very nice. I mean: I am loving pulseaudio and even found some dirty workaround for skype (that is, disabling pulseaudio temporarily). But it would be even nicer if the gnome mixer could use its full power even without pulseaudio. That will not change anything in ubuntu and will improve its flexibility. I think upstream is going to maintain that code anyways so we should not worry. -- gnome-volume-control-applet takes up to 40% cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400820 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
