Bug#680977: phonon-backend-gstreamer should not depend on gstreamer0.10-alsa
Package: phonon-backend-gstreamer
Version: 4:4.6.0.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have phonon-backend-gstreamer working fine here with PulseAudio (and actually
that's the way recommended by upstream [1]). So it's incorrect for that package
to depend on gstreamer0.10-alsa - and also annoying, as it prevents me from
uninstalling this unnecessary backend.
There's the virtual package gstreamer0.10-audiosink in case you want to ensure
the user has *some* sink installed.
Kind regards,
Ralf
