[pulseaudio-discuss] Merge of pavucontrol and paprefs

[Maarten Bosmans]

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.
