Description Villy Kruse 2021-01-06 15:46:01 UTC
Description of problem:

Installing pipewire-pulseaudio forces uninstalling pulseaudio and thereby also xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin.

I tried to install xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin using rpm with --nodeps. and the plugin works properly also with pipewire-pulseaudio.

Comment 1 Mukundan Ragavan 2021-01-06 23:19:34 UTC
We currently use pavucontrol as the mixer which needs pulseaudio.

Can you suggest a suitable replacement for volume mixer?

No need for a replacement.  xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin works fine if it did not declare a requires pulseaudio.

pavucontrol is still being used and works.  xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is the program that shows up in the tray, and which can invoke pavucontrol for finer control.

That's precisely my point. plugin without pavucontrol is of limited utility.

Comment 4 Mukundan Ragavan 2021-01-07 23:13:01 UTC
Looks like my understanding about pavucontrol is incorrect.

I will push this change to git.
