[SOLVED] Xfce4-mixer not using Pulseaudio

I've found several threads about this problem but none with a real answer or way to solve it.
My xfce4-mixer only shows my audio device and its channels, the alsamixer channels but it does not show pulseaudio as an audio device nor as a channel.
When I open alsamixer in terminal, it shows me as only channel pulseaudio output/input but xfce4-mixer doesn't.
Any way to fix this?

Did you install optional dependencies for xfce4-mixer?

gstreamer0.10-good-plugins (optional) - for OSS and PulseAudio support

That was absolutely right! I has the gst-plugins installed, so I thought they were the same.
Installing gstreamer0.10-good-plugins fixed the problem.
