From there it's a short step to it never getting compiled against
current libs and eventually falling away entirely. For PA to suit my
needs, and for this not to be a problem for me, I simply need support
for sending analog inputs to analog outputs. Nothing more.
I don't intend to maintain gst-mixer at all any more, and I intend to
drop it entirely from the distribution.
There are several other ALSA mixers you can use, like alsamixer ,
alsamixergui, xfce's mixer or kmix. I'd recommend alsamixer.
gst-mixer was only ever a stopgap for F11.
(specifically, generalization from one to the whole). Whether CD-In
usage is dead or not, the other uses aren't. So, for all I care, we
can skip CD-In support entirely, but Line-In and Aux should work.
And, of course, going back to what I just said, once either of those
two works, you already have the back end necessary to support CD-In
for free.
So he's worried about unconnected CD drives causing bug
reports. Fine, don't enable CD-In, but that's not a valid excuse to
leave the other ports dysfunctional.
You mean non-functional. The current Rawhide supports input selection in
gnome-volume-control and pavucontrol, anyway, so your concern is now
unneeded.
