Quoting Dave Airlie from the list:

"I took a quick look at this, and gnome-media has the code moved to the
gst-mixer subdir, but thats it, the code still believes its called
g-v-c, all the files are called that, the gconf schema keys, the
desktop, etc.

So I suspect the effort to do that vs ship gnome-alsamixer at this point
in the development cycle isn't going to provide any useful advantages to
the advanced sound configuration people are requiring. Like it the
answer to the question is otherwise run a cli app called alsamixer, I'd
ship a kde app quicker :)"

To this I'd add that we don't necessarily *want* a fairly heavy gstreamer mixer
applet that supports Pulse as well as ALSA mixer control. We want a simple
standalone application that simply lets you poke the ALSA mixers, nothing else.
gnome-alsamixer seems to fit that description.

But again I will go for the old g-v-c if more people favour it. I'd just ask
that someone else do the work of completing the re-write to identify as
something different from the new g-v-c, and handling the package, as I'm not
familiar with it at all.
