Bug 46416 – please add gst-plugins-alsa

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2004-03-31 15:40:34 UTC]

just copying over the gst-plugins-oss works.. A relatively recent alsa-libs dependency probably need to be added. This is required to get the volume applet and gnome-volume-control to work in gnome 2.6 as they use gstreamer if one is using alsa...

and while I'm at it.. it should probably be added as a dep to gnome-base/gnome with the alsa use flag.... Otherwise users will complain that the volume applet is broken

alsa plugin is known not functional for quite a few setups, i'm not happy about putting it in.

It certainly shouldn't be a gnome meta dep. The volume applet works well with oss or any sink with mixer.

The volume applet & gnome-volume-control did NOT find any device on my system without the alsa plugin. I'm using kernel 2.6 too.. I have oss emulation and it worked with gnome 2.4..

i put this in a while ago, although it is still known broken on some setups.
