Public bug reported:

Hi,

I'd like to upload xfce4-volumed 0.2.0 to raring. It's a port to
pulseaudio of the original xfce4-volumed which is gstreamer-based, and
doesn't cope well with having Pulseaudio by default in Xubuntu (various
problems to unmute, handle multiple cards, bluetooth devices, etc., cf.
Bugs #990562, #970009, #883485). There's no difference feature-wise,
with the exception of setting the default card (previously this has to
be done through xfconf-query [command line], now this can be done with
pavucontrol for example). Xubuntu already ships pavucontrol, so now
xfce4-volumed will actually follow the "default sink" option.

This has been ready since the end of the precise cycle, but due to a
lack of time it hadn't been uploaded yet (although has been tested since
then on precise, quantal and raring -- I mean, it still works with
pulseaudio 0.3.0).

The changelog is a bit pointless ("Initial port to pulseaudio", of
course -- I can attach the full git log if needed). As a side effect it
should fix the multiple memleaks, 100% cpu usages and crashes on login
reported on lp.

The debian/changelog will be:
 xfce4-volumed (0.2.0-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release with pulseaudio support. lp: #883485, #970009, #990562
   * debian/patches/xubuntu_preselect-pulseaudio.patch: dropped, unneeded.
   * debian/rules:
     - disable silent rules
     - keep the program named xfce4-volumed so the change is invisible to the
       users.
   * Add a manpage. lp: #428023
   * debian/control:
     - build-depends on libpulse-dev instead of libgstreamer0.10-dev and
       libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev.
     - recommends pulseaudio instead of gstreamer.

It builds, installs and works fine.

This is a long-standing issue, so in the Xubuntu team we'd be grateful
if the exception could be granted.

Thanks in advance.
