Thanks. It's a known thing. Please see:

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras_2fFC3Status

It says:

 gnome-alsamixer - Not needed for FC3 cause gnome-volume-control
 offers functionality

I love it when it's a 'known thing'.
Yeah, to developers it is.

I don't think Michael was being rude. I think he was just telling you
where to look for information about packages in extras that may not be
being built for one reason or another.

Cool?

I'm open for suggestions. I agree that for official releases of
e.g. "Fedora Extras for FC3", there would be a release notes document
covering things like applications merged into Core, obsolete applications
and other changes which might be interesting. But this is a rather
unofficial pre-Extras build of current CVS snapshots and work in progress.

ah, thanks
i'm using kde and would love to get it back because it works a *lot*
nicer than kde's default kmix applet.

That said, Gnome's new volume controller is no beauty contest winner,
either.  I get this extremely wide window with a scrollbar and long
names like "3D Control Sigmatel - Depth" and "EMU10K1 PCM Send" (that
one has 24 sliders, for some reason.)  I guess a simple volume
controller is out of the question these days.  Sigh.

Regards,
 Robert.

Just FYI, that was my decision. I made the package back in the days of
FC1. But I saw no reason to support in in FC2 and FC3 since the same
functionality is provided by the new gnome-mixer. AFAIK part of the new
gnome-mixer are taken from gnome-alsamixer. 

And I think this decision was/is right. The upstream package was not
updated since around one year AFAIK.

I know that the current gnome-mixer isn't the best, but did you look at
it to see if it fits your needs? Anyway I think rebuilding for Fedora-
Extras FC3 is unnecessary and waste of time. If you love gnome-alsamixer
so much rebuild the FC1 srpm yourself. That *should* work.
