Hi,
I have just committed the update to xfce 4.16 as r559953 [1]
Hello Guido and, first off, thanks for your work.
Just a question (while I'm choosing which packages to build with
Poudriere)...
I used audio/xfce4-mixer: I see it's gone.
audio/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is suggested as a replacement.
Does this mean I have to run pulseaudio daemon on my laptop just to be
able to set the volume???
If so, is there any other alternative?
With the update to the new XFCE libraries the mixer plugin fails to
compile. it requiress GTK2 support, which was dropped from the panel.
Support for it was also dropped years ago and the fix is not trivial
(major rewrite would be required).
Upstream replacement is using pulsed. XFCE, like many other desktop
environments, by default uses pulsed for managing audio. Actually a lot
of software uses and prefers pulsed, and I would not be surprised if
pulsed is actually running in the background on your system without you
even noticing.
Apart from this XFCE does not provide a replacement.
Although, the ports tree does have some other p0orts which could be
useful, for example I see audio/volumeicon which should put an icon in
your system tray with which to set various audio parameters.
audio/gtmixer also provides a tray icon.
There are others which, I think< are worth a try.
