[SOLVED] Pulseaudio-mixer-applet broken

Hi everybody,

I started using pulseaudio trying to build gnome-shell. I'm experiencing a problem with pulseaudio-mixer-applet (no gnome-shell related, this happens with plain metacity). When I launch pulseaudio-mixer-applet from command line it doesn't load and fires the following error:

alessandro@alessandro-lappy:~$ pulseaudio-mixer-applet 
pulseaudio-mixer-applet: error while loading shared libraries: libpanel-applet-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This led me to:

alessandro@alessandro-lappy:~$ sudo find / | grep libpanel-applet
Password: 
/usr/lib/libpanel-applet-3.so
/usr/lib/libpanel-applet-3.so.0.0.5
/usr/lib/libpanel-applet-3.so.0
/usr/include/gnome-panel-3.0/libpanel-applet
/usr/include/gnome-panel-3.0/libpanel-applet/panel-applet-gconf.h
/usr/include/gnome-panel-3.0/libpanel-applet/panel-applet.h
/usr/include/gnome-panel-3.0/libpanel-applet/panel-applet-enums.h

I tried linking libpanel-applet-3-so.0 to libpanel-applet-2-so.0 but it didn't work. I also tried recompiling the package from ABS, but it complains about libpanel-applet missing, as:

checking for PULSEAUDIO_MIXER_APPLET... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 gobject-2.0 gtk+-2.0 libpanelapplet-2.0  libpulse >= 0.9.15 libpulse-mainloop-glib) were not met:

No package 'libpanelapplet-2.0' found

however I cannot find the mentioned package anywhere.

Some useful info (pacqry = pacman -Qs):

    ALSA Configuration for PulseAudio

Google does not return anything useful, is there any trick to fix this?

Cheers,
Alessandro

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
