It used to be the case that setting -gnome globally would be sufficient, |
27 |
without having to manually mask packages. I had gstreamer in pidgin to be |
28 |
able to get sound. I'm guessing that I need gstreamer in pidgin to be able to |
29 |
set up a voice call in gtalk. |

Is it the case that now one has to install gnome-base to be able to use |
32 |
gstreamer? |
