Why should we skip using the gstreamer layer and directly communicate with pulseaudio? If I understand the gstreamer design correctly, it ends up using pulse underneath, anyway.I already explained that. Pulse Audio has become the de-facto standard audio server on Linux and MATE should therefore install it's PA backend by default. You also only get a fully working Pulse Audio volume control [1] in MATE when mate-media-pulse is installed. Adrian[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VolumeControl#User_Experience
Can you please take care of these two *-pulse bugs, then?I understand Stefano's disposition (on IRC) that gstreamer won't depend on another daemon and if you want a pulseaudio based system, you can switch later (after installation of the meta-package mate-desktop-environment).
However, I also get the usability part, so I give way to this request. Please take care of getting this change into unstable, please.
