Bug 11930 – gnome-alsamixer-0.9.2.ebuild (new)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2002-12-10 18:43:23 UTC]

Hi,

gnome-alsamixer is a another ALSA mixer gui, but based on GNOME2. The interface
is, IMO, much better than the other alsa mixers available. As with all the other
ALSA mixers, I suggest this be put into media-sound.

Cheers,

Alastair

gnome-alsamixer 0.9.2 ebuild (newer and bugfixed)

sorry, there was a little bug in the dependencies for the last one. And as luck
would have it, a new version just came out after i finished this ebuild, so
that has been updated as well.

i actually have it running locally a day or so ;) 

I personally don't really see the added value overthe standard gnome mixer.

well, in the mythical struggle to rid the world of OSS modules ... :)

seriously, i actually used this initially to debug ALSA problems, because it
allows setting other mixer settings that the gnome-volume-control doesn't 
handle for ALSA drivers.

as a demo, look at the other options that gnome-volume-control doesn't expose
in this screenshot:

I just looked through the ebuild here. It looks like desktop-file-utils was hacked out of it. In my duplicate post for gnome-alsamixer (guess I should have e searched first), I included support for DFU. See the dup for details/ebuilds:

Desktop-file-utils is here:

committed gnome-alsamixer-0.9.3 to cvs. 

i've kept the workaround to avoid using desktop-file-utils in the ebuild because 
the authors of the Makefile decided to append an ugly string (with spaces) in 
front of an otherwise normal .desktop link.

as far as i know, debian does the same to avoid problems.
