With the approaching switch to freedesktop.org infrastructure, only pulseaudio and and pavucontrol are going to be migrated, if I understand it correctly. Of the other utils, paman and padevchooser were already deprecated for several years. (I have closed all the tickets as wontfix, to emphasize that point) Pavumeter has also seen very little development and is not so interesting. Paprefs however, is used quite a lot. I think Colin proposed merging it with pavucontrol. (and may be even mentioned already working on such a merge?) Putting all the paprefs stuff on a new pavucontrol tab, or with the current configuration tab makes sense, I'd say. Any ideas on that? I think Colin mentioned that he would like the gconf module to go. Can we make a plan for that? After the merge is done, may be it makes sense to rename the tool to pacontrol, as it is about much more than just controlling volumes. If we decide to do this, it makes sense to start with the fd.o git repo already renamed. Maarten
