No-one has said the GstMixer would go away in 1.0 at any point - just
that the current incarnation sucks and could be greatly improved. In
general terms, it's still important for GStreamer to supply a general
interface to mixer capabilities.

That was very helpful Lennart, thanks, I'm now much more aware on how
PA is better than OSSv4 on Solaris thanks to your detailed and

Pass-thru by just ticking a check-box? Uh? For AC3 pass-thru the apps
need to provide AC3 in the first place. And switching the apps to do
that is certainly nothing you can trigger by changing an ALSA mixer
control.

If you mean normal PCM SPDIF, then I can tell you that PA supports
that just fine. You can switch between analog and SPDIF during
runtime, without even having to stop your playback.

Dunno how else I could understand your remark, but to me it appears to
be just bogus.

Choosing PA because it can be used as an abstraction layer is choosing
it for the wrong reasons.

This is not really true. PA does not care about volume 'percentages',
it only cares about the dB values ALSA exports for those volume
steps. And for the 'inner' controls 0dB should equal no attenuation/no
amplification, i.e. be the value where you get the loudest output
without having to fear clipping.

"alsactl init" should reset your control levels to 0dB, i.e. to a
position where you should not get clipping. If it doesn't file a bug
against ALSA.

Also, on PA 0.9.16 we actually merge the volume sliders that are in
the pipeline into one, where the 'outermost' slider applies the
biggest volume adjustment, while the inner ones are usually fixed to
0dB.

Currently, using ALSA, it’s just a check box to tick in gst-mixer.
Unless you can detect automatically whether the SP/DIF output is being
used (and it’s not always possible), I don’t know how you can make it

To do things like that with Linux, you’ve always needed JACK until now.
And if we want to cover all uses cases JACK covers, PA will end up just
reimplementing JACK.

There's pasuspender for now, and there's already plans to fix this[1].
In all cases, pass-thru setups are too hard to setup on Linux, so it's
not like the extra fiddling will hurt anyone (for now anyway).

In the future, I don't see how we could have reasonable support for the
use cases we want to handle (say, move one stream from internal
speakers/soundcard to USB speakers) without having something like PA
available. Using only ALSA (or a sound system with similar capabilities
such as OSSv4) is a dead-end.

Forcing PA breaks all pass-through setups, which are becoming less

Give 0.9.16-test2 a try, it deals with the different mixer Master/PCM
simultaneously, and it's fantastic, seriously.

For GNOME 3, and even before, this should be solved. There will be no
good reason, I hope, to keep gst-mixer. That's why it could be moved
to a different project. Especially if the GStreamer GstMixer is
deprecated.

I use it because of the simplest ever use case not yet covered by PA:
- PCM volume at 100% -> jerky sound

PA assumes that I have PCM at 100% and I only need to adjust Master,
this is broken at least in my card (intel8x0) because if I were to put
PCM at 100% I would get quite jerky sound (imagine a batteries fm
radio). Right now PA only allows me to adjust Master, which is quite
useless for me.

So what I do is having Master at 100% and PCM around 70%, if laptop
speaker volume (hw control) is not strong enough I go to gst-mixer and
adjust PCM up a little bit, giving away quality for some loudness.

Not having gst-mixer would mean either having PCM at 100% all the time
and getting jerky sound or having to go console or use some ugly thing
like gnome-alsamixer. If it's not hurting anyone, please keep gst-mixer
in the package.

There would be some advantages for using PulseAudio, yes.  Positional
sounds could be an interesting feature, for example.  This was discussed
before.  Refer:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-January/msg00208.html

However, many of the additional benefits (e.g. GlitchFree) requires
support in the drivers, which currently does not exist on Solaris.  It
would be a significant effort to add such features, and not currently
in the plans.  However, this could perhaps change sometime in the future
and make PulseAudio more attractive on Solaris.

Also, for PulseAudio to work properly, you need to redirect all audio
applications to use it.  On Solaris, this would be a non-trivial effort
since we need to support several applications that aren't designed to
use PulseAudio currently (such as Real Player, Flash, etc.).

In short, it would be a fair bit of work to integrate PulseAudio, and
the benefits do not seem worth the effort at the moment.

Providing an alternative GStreamer-based mixer program still has value,

So if that is the case, we can also whitelist gnome-media from the

GNOME 3 is a good target to just remove them from gnome-media (and
bugzilla?), if the release team agree.

Also, I think the Gst gang is willing to deprecate IGstMixer for 1.0,
which means that gst-mixer would have to be either removed, or shipped
the with the current GStreamer part. Either way, having it in a
separate package would make sense.

I'd rather keep gst-mixer at least until GNOME 3.0 (or a bit longer;
doesn't seem to require lots of maintenance). I know that Gentoo offers
the possibility to have a PA-free desktop, using gst-mixer. Also, Ubuntu
seems to provide it as default as well[1].

vu-meter, gnome-cd and cdd-slave are unlikely to be widely missed, I
guess.

Not sure if somebody still uses gst-mixer (at least Fedora is using
gnome-volume-control instead of it) but the README here [1] says at
least the other three applications are disabled from the default build
anyway, and I agree with you it's not worth the effort to patch them to
use up-to-date platform technologies.

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

Well, with gst-properties fixed, the default gnome-media install builds
fine with deprecated symbols disabled here.

Regarding the non-default / deprecated widgets I'll take it like Thomas
Andersen in comment 9 in above bug: it makes no sense fixing them.

  * gst-mixer doesn't need any fixing and works with deprecated
symbols disabled already. (Note, this seems to be used at least
in Gentoo when building your system without PA)
  * vu-meter would be doable but was written for ESD. Alternatives
already exist for PulseAudio, eg. with Lennart's own
pavumeter[1].
  * gnome-cd could be doable as well but AFAIR was replaced already
(not sure by whom right now, Sound-Juicer?, Rhythmbox?, Totem?)
  * cddb-slave2 is from what I can see only left as a dependency of
gnome-cd. I guess most cd-player apps today use Musicbrainz
anyway, so there's probably not much use in fixing it.

Regards,

Felix

For gnome-media, we got rid of libglade in gst-properties with upcoming 2.27.4.

The remaining piece "gnome-media-profile", has a patch almost ready.
I have some issues with the glade catalog part, which I would like to
deprecate eventually. It could also use some help. See
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524364.

By getting rif of libglade in gst-properties, Felix Riemann also
helped to drop some deprecated symbols.

Felix can probably tell us better how far we are from having all the
maintained part of gnome-media free of deprecated symbols. I have the
feeling we are close to be clean.
