Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "pnmixer". Package name : pnmixer Version : 0.6.1-1 Upstream Author : Nick Lanham, Julian Ospald, Arnaud Rébillout URL : https://github.com/nicklan/pnmixer License : GPL-3 Section : sound This is my first package. I built it carefully using `dh_make`, checked and fixed errors with `lintian`. It took me almost two days, given the huge amount of documentation out there :) PNMixer is a simple mixer application for the system tray, for those who use ALSA for sound management. It may be people who like to keep their system simple and lightweight, or people who do MAO, therefore using Jackd when working on their music, and simple ALSA when they're not. I'm part of both use cases. PNMixer integrates nicely into desktop environments that don't have a panel that supports applets and therefore can't run a mixer applet. In particular it's been used quite a lot with fbpanel and tint2, but should run fine in any system tray. PNMixer comes with plenty of options, which make it quite a complete system tray mixer: hotkeys support, notifications, plenty of config... This is described in details in the README. How does it compare with other system tray ALSA mixers in Debian ? - qasmixer is C++/Qt4, no translation - volumeicon-alsa is C/GTk2, no translation - volti is Python/GTk2, translated in 5 languages PNMixer is C/GTk3, translated in 4 languages. It has been around for almost 5 years now, and is actively maintained. It is packaged in several distributions: - ArchLinux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pnmixer/ - Gentoo: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-sound/pnmixer - Fedora: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/pnmixer It was also the default sound mixer in Crunchbang, a Debian-derived distribution that is known as BunsenLabs now. There's also an unofficial package for Ubuntu. I'm one of the maintainers of PNMixer, so yes, I'm advertising a little bit here :) However, before being a maintainer, I was a PNMixer user, because it was definitely the best system tray ALSA mixer around. I sincerely believe that it's a valuable piece of software, and that Debian users can benefit from it.
