Hey folks.
Should we look at retiring xfce4-mixer in f29?
It doesn't play nice with pulseaudio we have xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin that works much better it never got a 4.12 release. it still uses gstreamer-0.1x it has a bunch of bugs outstanding upstream
Does anyone see a need for it to stay around?
Not really, I wasn't even aware of the nitty-gritty. xfce4-mixer isn't even installed on my desktop, and I always use pavucontrol to deal with sound mixing. It also looks like I'm note using the pulseaudio plugin but pnmixer instead. The latter is a bit buggy, save for the fact that its "Mixer" button opens up pavucontrol so all in all works for me :)
