[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#709234: xfce4-mixer: dependency problems fixed by installing

[D Haley]

Package: xfce4-mixer
Version: 4.8.0-3+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

	When using xfce4-mixer with gstreamer0.10-alsa uninstalled, right
	clicking on the mixer icon in the xfce tray and then selecting
	the properties/settings  menu item causes mixer to report that
	the sound card cannot be found.

	I see that other users have hit this issue :
	http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=76834

	It is indeed fixed (at least on my system) by explicitly installing 
	gstreamer0.10-alsa, and restarting the xfce4-mixer applet.

	I think, but am unsure (due to my lack of knowledge about the dep
	resolver), that it is due to aptitude allowing any of the virtual
	package providers (gstreamer0.10-alsa, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad,
	gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio)?

	Perhaps a more strict dependency is required?

	Thanks.
