</I>>><i> For PulseAudio, Sound/Mixer is fine.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I don't agree
</I>><i> If someone wants to install a mixer, pulesaudio in the list will
</I>><i> probably confuse him
</I>
As I was saying earlier, no group classification is perfect. In the
situation you describe, having pulseaudio in System/Base would be even
more confusing. But if you were to choose between Sound/Editors and
Convertors, Sound/Midi, Sound/Mixers, Sound/Players, Sound/Utilities,
Sound/Visualization, where would you look first?
You know none fits perfectly, I know that as well, even less for
pulseaudio-module-jack or pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.
But before everyting was in Sound: so confusing is maximum. Now it
becomes a bit (but only a bit) easier. That's the point.
>>><i> Or perhaps PA should just go in System/Base?
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> No. It only drowns it in the crowd of completely unrelated packages.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Do you expect someone to want to manually install pulseaudio after
</I>><i> removing it, and search it in mixers?
</I>
Yes. By the principle of "Where else?" :-)
Cheers,
