Hi again we are having similar problems with the multimedia packages
in Wheezy based systems at our installation--- basically a problem
where the upgrade (full-upgrade) in aptitude seems to be jumbled
forcing removal of gnome desktop minitube arista miro gstreamer and
other packages depending upon the exact system set up. It seems to
be a problem with the way the update system is set up. We cannot
even use packages from sid to solve it in this case because they are
the same number-- also when we try to then go in and add back in
force-removed packages we cannot because it requires removal of
things like gnome and many other multimedia and other packages. We
are making an effort to fix by carefully going through each and
every package and trying different options but this process is
causing a lot of problems and audio is one of our biggest problem
including microphones not working and/or having added clicks and
tones(I know you can turn off left/right and other measures-- why
are these not the default? it keeps resetting after updates)--- and
now other things like the sound frozen at a very low level despite
sliders being turned up.<br>
<br>
Here is one example aptitude full-upgrade default-- other systems
have similar results even newly built wheezy stations:<br>
<br>
