Package: quodlibet
Version: 3.6.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The gstreamer1.0-plugins-good package

  Provides: gstreamer1.0-audiosink

which means that the quodlibet

  Depends: [...], gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio | gstreamer1.0-audiosink, [...]

is automatically satisfied courtesy of quodlibet's

  Depends: [...], gstreamer1.0-plugins-good, [...]

The result is that gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio never gets installed.  For
me, that meant no sound (and an hour or so figuring out why) until I
installed it.

On my system, quodlibet is pulled in by task-xfce-desktop which also
pulls in the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin (via a Depends:).  That makes me
think that quodlibet should simply depend on gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
without an alternative.

# Doh, I should search the bug reports before writing my own :-(
# I just found #785432.  Oh well, now you can see the situation *before*
# installing gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio as well.

Are there any situations where installing gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio would
or might be undesirable?

# Per #785432, yes, when you don't use pulseaudio at all.  Since the
# xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin obviously depends on pulseaudio maybe that
# could at least add a Recommends: gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio?
# Then again, what if you don't use gstreamer at all?
