[opensuse-factory] new package: xfce4-volumed-pulse
Hi all, even though Takashi has fixed xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed to build with gstreamer-1.0 (thanks!), I'd still like to introduce the new upstream package xfce4-volumed-pulse, which is using pulseaudio to get / set volume settings and notify the user about changes (it presents a popup if e.g. with hotkeys the volume is changed). Devel project is X11:xfce, where all the other XFCE related packages Have fun, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, it's good to have more PA coverage. And this makes me wonder whether we should move more forward: namely, add Recommends pulseaudio and related packages to XFCE patterns, and drop the old xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed from patterns as well. I guess removing recommends would be harmless for the already installed systems, but adding recommends would drag the newer package after zypper up? Installing pulseaudio will switch the sound backend, per default, thus it may bring inconsistencies when the system was already set up without PA. Although you can run "setup-pulseaudio --disable" to get back to non-PA system easily, it still needs a manual invocation. Thoughts?

I'm a pretty new user of xfce and I found that the default panel volume control is broken for Pulseaudio. I switched to xfce4-panel-plugin-pulseaudio because of that which seems to work. What is the difference here? Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

xfce4-volumed is rather a minimalistic implmentation, and targeted for the media key handling and notification. OTOH, xfce4-panel-plugin-pulseaudio is more about detailed mixer setup with optional key handling, AFAIK.
