The instance of XFCE that I am using seems to be really buggy. I am forced to use both xfce-volumed-pulse and xfce-pulseaudio-plugin side by side, and the issue that arises from this is that now there are two notification indicators for the present volume.
When I remove xfce-volumed-pulse (this plugin is no longer shown on the official documentation), the multimedia key stops working, so there’s no notification indicator.
But when I remove xfce-pulseaudio-plugin, I am no longer able to access the slider widget in the control panel, that allows me to tap into pavucontrol.
What is happening here?
For logging,
PANEL_DEBUG=all(source) seems to work. Anyway, did you reboot the system after removingxfce-volumed-pulse(so onlyxvce-pulseaudio-pluginshould be enabled) ?Oh yes, I did. Since I reconfigure the Guix configuration, I also follow up with a reboot.
