pavucontrol works fine without pulseaudio, if you control another machine's pulseaudio instance over the network: $ PULSE_SERVER=another-box pavucontrol Not sure about xfce4 packages, don't use them. On Mon, Mar 20, 2017 at 1:11 AM, Friedrich Strohmaier <damokles4-listen@bits-fritz.de> wrote:
Hi all,
some time ago xfce sorted out xfce4-mixer in favour of xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin. - agreed removing xfce4-mixer - Installed xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin - no sound mixing available at all - Installed optional dependency pavucontrol - no sound mixing available - no connection to pulseaudio server - Installed optional dependency pulsaudio - yay! sound mixing up an running.
I don't understand much about dependency quirks but I wonder about the reason both dependencies beeing made optional. xfce4-pulsaudio-plugin is out of any functionality without working pavucontrol pavucontrol is out of any functionality without a running pulseaudio server.
So what is the reason making both dependencies optional? -- Friedrich
