Comment 4 for bug 883485

Hi. I'm copy/pasting a comment I made elsewhere about this problem.

xfce4-volumed is NOT compatible with Pulseaudio. Xubuntu 11.10 uses Pulseaudio by default, hence problems. If you want me to work on a Pulseaudio back-end for xfce4-volumed, please send an email to the xfce4 development mailing list and ask for Pulseaudio support in the back-end of xfce4-volumed AND xfce4-mixer, and I'll see with the other developers if we want to work on this or not (this will also depend on my workload, which is extremely high at the moment).

My point here is that I'm not willing to "fix" my application at the moment because it does what it is designed for. The first requirement for me is full compatibility with the xfce4-mixer. In fact, I even re-use code from the mixer directly.
