Hello, how about replacing the gmixer applet with the old gstreamer-based gnome-volume-manager aka gst-mixer? It should take considerably less memory then the whopping 22MB of gmixer. Although the gst-mixer backend is deprecated it is still maintained and part of gnome-media 2.30 and for the next openSUSE release we'll probably have the rewritten mixer plugin for a rewritten lxpanel anyway. It could be easily rebranded from gnome-volume-manager to gst-mixer to allow parallel installation with gnome-media based packages (Fedora offered that in F11). What do you think? -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org

gmixer is a cross distro choise. it support multimedia keys and everything a user need. i don't know about gst-mixer, more infos are required, as well testing. IF that mixer have same features as gmixer, IF we can maintain the code for at least 11.3 release support, IF it's resources less than gmixer, than the change is welcome.

Basically it was gnome-volume-control before GNOME 2.26, e.g. the openSUSE 11.1 GNOME desktop uses it by default.
IF that mixer have same features as gmixer, IF we can maintain the code
I'll test it.

It is still officially part of the GNOME 2.30 release and will be supported for this timeframe, AFAIK Opensolaris still uses it. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org

I just compiled gst-mixer and found out that it that it just provides the mixer. The gnome-volume-control-applet always needs pulseaudio, so this won't work, sorry for the noise. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org
