>From xfce4-volumed's description: This is a volume keys control daemon for Xfce Desktop environment. It controls the volume using multimedia keys, for the card configured in xfce4-mixer. It also provides volume change notifications. Given xfce4-mixer is gone, is this still useful? In order to drop it from testing, xfce4-goodies would need to stop depending on it. Cheers, Emilio
