       in Gentoo when building your system without PA)

Why don't we remove gst-mixer, vu-meter, gnome-cd and cddb-slave2
completely from gnome media 2.27. People that want to keep on building
them can use the 2.26 branch

Solaris continues to use gst-mixer since Solaris does not yet provide
PulseAudio.  PulseAudio doesn't provide as much value on Solaris since
OSSv4 provides mixing functionalities directly in the OSS layer.

Providing an alternative GStreamer-based mixer program still has value,
I think.  Sun would appreciate if gst-mixer could stay in gnome-media.
Since it doesn't need any fixing and works with deprecated symbols
disabled already, I don't think there is any reason to remove it from
that standpoint.

I don't think there is an issue with removing the other programs,
though.
