Bug#352658: gnome-media: gnome-volume-control doesn't find any devices anymore

Mon Feb 13 10:10:17 UTC 2006

Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.12.0-3
Severity: normal

Since I upgraded my system today (running etch, last update was last
Friday), I got loads of GNOME 2.12 components and my
gnome-volume-control suddenly doesn't work anymore. It is crossed out
and when I click on it, I get a dialog saying:

========
The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control.
This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins
installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.

You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the
speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the
menu.
========

This is weird, because I can play music with mpg123 and control volume
with gnome-alsa-mixer e.g.
I already tried to upgrade to the latest gstreamer packages (0.8 and
0.10) and by removing my ~/.gstreamer* files and running
gst-register-0.8, but nothing helped.
