Hmm, I can't get the keybindings to work.

Hi, I'm the author of xfce4-volumed. gstreamer-0.10 is probably still needed because as far as I know 1.0+ do not contain the mixer interface. This is the interface used by xfce4-volumed to watch and adjust the volume. Thanks.

For all of you having trouble with hardware keyboard mute button not unmuting properly (i.e. unmuting only master, but not speaker device):
This may be related to xfce4-volumed / xfce4-mixer not working properly with PulseAudio.
In order to make xfce4-volumed work on my Thinkpad X200, I had to
1.) Install gstreamer0.10-good-plugins
2.) Set the actual sounddevice of xfce4-mixer via xfce4-settings-editor to the correct PulseAudio device.
PulseAudio can only be controlled by xfce4-mixer if gstreamer0.10-good-plugins are installed. Otherwise, xfce4-mixer will show ALSA devices only and thus xfce4-volumed will affect alsa device directly.
It took me quite a while to find this out...

@Ennoia Alas, there has been no release of xfce4-volumed since 2011... The configure explictly requires gstreamer0.10, even if it may works with the final version with some patching... A bit again the "vanilla software, unless broken otherwise" Arch policy.
@santodelaespada, I have the same version of libkeybinder here (python2-keybinder2 is not required) and no problems. What does the following command say on your system?
pkg-config --exists --print-errors "keybinder"

Thank you for this package. Hope it is included in extra soon!

If unmuting by keyboard doesn't work:
For me worked
amixer set Master toggle
(then binded to the XF86mute key.)
Comment by santodelaespada
I get:
checking for LIBKEYBINDER... no
configure: error: Package requirements (keybinder) were not met:
I got installed:
libkeybinder2 0.3.0-1
python2-keybinder2 0.3.0-1

Should dependencies be updated to gstreamer and gst-plugins-base, i.e. 1.0.6 version ?
Comment by glaville
Since using Keyboard shortcuts is still a bit hackish (the suggested command in many wikis, amixer set Master 5%+, applies both to playback and capture streams for example, and does not always properly show notifications), I'll take this package maintenance.
volumeicon is based on GTK3 (as opposed to the rest of Xfce), adds a second sound icon and a small arrow is still shown even when hidden using tray area settings.
