Since the update to the 2.26 gnome-applets, the new mixer applet doesn't work. When trying to adjust the volume, I get the following error message: ===================================================== The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plug-ins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. ===================================================== I have set the gstreamer useflag (globally) and my soundcard works (alsamixer works as usual). So if there's a gst-plugin missing, the deps of gnome-applets are incomplete and otherwise I don't know what's wrong. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the mixer applet to a panel 2.

Created attachment 192104 [details, diff] Adds the missing gst-plugins-alsa deps to the gnome-applets ebuild
(In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=192104) [edit] > Adds the missing gst-plugins-alsa deps to the gnome-applets ebuild > I found out what's missing and why: When you have "gnome" installed, gst-plugins-alsa gets installed automatically. But I only have "gnome-light" which doesn't install the plugin. So gnome-applets needs to depend on gstreamer? ( gst-plugins-alsa ) The only thing I'm not sure about is which version of gst-plugins-alsa is needed, but it defenitely works with the most recent version in ~amd64, so used that one (see patch above). Hope this helps Stephan
Fixed in CVS, thanks for reporting.

why gst-plugins-meta isn't used is beyond me...
