Description Jonathan Arsenault 2005-12-02 15:36:26 UTC 
When double clicking the sound applet in GNOME it should start gnome-alsamixer (or when choosing open volume control in the contextual menu) but doing so give the fallowing error message "Failed to start Volume Control: Failed to execute child process "gnome-volume-control" (No such file or directory)"

Dunno if its trying to start gnome-volume-control there but it shouldn't that being the applet itself what it should be launching is the gnome mixer (gnome-alsamixer) , from a console gnome-alsamixer launch fine.

gnome-volume-control is an official GNOME mixer based on GStreamer.
Comment 2 Jonathan Arsenault 2005-12-02 16:13:58 UTC 
ok so i would need to install gnome-media just to get the applet working correctlly that and all the gstreamer crap it depend on ?
could it be possible to make a option in the applet preference to choose the mixer it should use ?
Comment 3 Stanislav Brabec 2005-12-02 16:36:28 UTC 
Technically it is possible, but mixer applet itself requires GStreamer, too, so it is probably better to keep it consistent.

I have just fixed missing Requires. Decreasing the rest as Enhancement.
Comment 4 Jonathan Arsenault 2005-12-02 17:52:07 UTC 
ok for gstreamer was just refering on nautilus-cdburner and some extra plugin not necessary in that case as well as the mixer itself being in the gnome-media file i dont usually got that package installed as i dont need anything else in it
Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2005-12-15 14:35:35 UTC 
I agree with Stanislav, we should stay consistent with upstream here.  gstreamer is installed by default and is the basis of most multimedia work for the desktop (not just gnome-media, but banshee, rhythmbox, totem, sound-juicer, etc).
