Package: xfce4-volumed
Version: 0.1.13-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The packages xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed depend on
gstreamer0.10-audiosink, with gstreamer0.10-alsa preferred, because
theyneed a gstreamer plugin that provides mixer control.
However, due to other packages in the xfce desktop task, other packages
like gstreamer0.10-gconf become pulled in earlier, fulfilling the
audiosink dependency on -mixer and -volumed.
Sadly, some packages that provide the gstreamer0.10-audiosink virtual
package do not satisfy the need for a mixer control.
I am not sure whether this bug has to be fixed by XFCE or by GStreamer,
however, I am positive that there has to be a way to have -mixer and
-volumed depend on something that really provides a mixer control.
I declare this bug grave because it renders XFCE's audio subsystem
broken in a standard Debian desktop installation.
