Karsten Merker provides the following analysis of this bug:
Xfce4-mixer did not work out of the box. On start, it complained
that "GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices". The
reason for this was that the gstreamer0.10-alsa package was not
installed. This problem has already been submitted by somebody
else in bug #651495 last year; the problem has been confirmed by
another submitter in June 2012 and is still open. This should be
fixed before the wheezy release, in particular as xfce is now the
default desktop for wheezy. From a first look at the issue it
seems that there is no explicit dependency on gstreamer0.10-alsa
in task-xfce-desktop. Xfce4-mixer itself depends on
"gstreamer0.10-alsa | gstreamer0.10-audiosink", whereby
gstreamer0.10-audiosink is a purely virtual package provided by
other gstreamer-plugins, so if some other application pulls in
e.g. gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, the dependency gets fulfilled
but the mixer nonetheless does not work on an alsa device.
I will be working around this in task-xfce-desktop, I suppose, but
am leaving this bug open where it is, since the same situation
can be obtained without using tasksel.
