(As an aside: Michael, your mail system is evidently corrupting
character encoding of messages. The original 2015-11-09 message was
encoded as UTF-8, and shows up correctly in the Debian BTS; something
apart from that has corrupted it between that and your reply.)

I meant the ‘gsound-tools’ binary package, and I'm reassigning this
bug report now. Thank you for pointing out my mistake.

On closer inspection, it seems one could argue that ‘gsound-tools’ be
considered “part of the GNOME environment or closely integrated into
it”.

I still think ‘gsound-tools’ is sufficiently independent of GNOME that
it would be a better fit in “Section: sound”; I'm not overly familiar
with it though, and I defer to your consideration. If you consider the
matter, and think that's not right, I won't object if you close this
report as “notfound -1 gsound-tools/1.0.1-2”.
