I still wonder what to do about the xfce4-mixer issue. AFAICS
from the point of xfce4-mixer itself the dependency on
"gstreamer0.10-alsa | gstreamer0.10-audiosink" is correct as it
is possible to use the mixer on a non-alsa backend (e.g. running
it with pulseaudio), but in the context of a fresh install with
the current task-xfce-desktop the only available audio backend is
alsa and not having gstreamer0.10-alsa installed results in an
unusable mixer.
A possible solution would be to add a recommends on
gstreamer0.10-alsa to task-xfce-desktop, so that it gets pulled
in during the system installation while not fiddling with the
xfce4-mixer dependencies which are correct from the package point
of view.
What do you think about that?
Regards,
Karsten
