I found the gnome 2.26 upgrade guide, which points to the |

pulseaudio documentation. |

It seems that pulseaudio has its own mixer control (not |
| 11 |
included in gentoo's pulseaudio package) so maybe it does |
| 12 |
make sense to remove that function from gnome's volume |
| 13 |
control applet. |

However, the most important thing I learned is that I have |
| 16 |
no use whatever for pulseaudio -- and I doubt that many |
| 17 |
other people do, either. |

It seems to be a massively complex solution hunting for a |
| 20 |
problem. How many of us want/need to play two or more |
| 21 |
soundtracks at the same time? |

If I'm wrong about this, please correct me. I'd like to |
| 24 |
know why all those devs spent so much energy building it. |
