[pulseaudio-discuss] [paprefs] [PATCH] Port to meson

[Jan Tojnar]

It will build fine, only the translations will not be merged back to 
the produced desktop file. Solution would be porting the autotools code 
from intltool to vanilla gettext (see 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/GettextMigration) but 
autotools removal will be easier.
