Bug#762577: phonon-backend-gstreamer: 4:4.8.0-1 update broke device list in phonon
Hello,
I believe 4.8.0-1 phonon-backend-gstreamer did depend on gstreamer1.0-alsa or
gstreamer1.0-audiosink.
I'm not sure if it would be better to add gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio as another
alternative, or to add it as a recommends?
Pity you can't express conditional dependencies "If the user has pulseaudio
installed they probably want the gstreamer pulseaudio driver."
